Quiet

Things around the compound have been pretty slow since Christmas. Since the clinic is closed (open only for emergencies), most of the clinic, construction and compound staff are on vacation until January 4th. It has been nice to enjoy a slower pace and get a few projects done. There are still several malaria cases coming in and this morning we had a birth. It was Margaret's first since returning. For those of you who have been here before, you may remember Australian Richard. He is from Sudan, but moved to Australia several years ago. His Sudanese/Australian accent is a trip! His wife, Rebecca, gave birth to their first child, a son, today. We thank the Lord for a quick, healthy delivery.
