4/15

Spent the whole day with Betty and Abella. At 6:50 am they showed up so we could walk into town together to get something for Abella’s conjunctivitis. We met them yesterday at Angie’s but they live closer to us than to them. They are both about 11 years old and have pretty sad stories filled with abuse and neglect. After walking there and back, about an hour, we had morning tea and Betty headed to school. Abella had just taken what were comparable to MEAPS and didn’t have to go. She seemed to just want to hang around so she helped with dishes and worked with me in the garden. Angie picked us up and we went to market together, Betty rejoined us and we went on to SCAB (the ministry where the blind live and work). I’m praying that we are not just filling their time and their bellies while they are in our home but that we can have a meaningful impact on these young women.
