Kind of Back to Normal?

We had our first "normal" day back to work today. There hasn't been anymore gunfire near us, which is good! We did have two gunshot victims in the clinic today. Tonj had cattle raided by another town, Chuibet, last week. The people of Tonj want to retaliate which is why they broke into the army's gun store. One of the men who was shot is Machoul. He was shot five days ago in the head and was brought to our clinic this evening. Machoul was shot by someone during the raid, but was left behind. They just found him today. He has lost the ability to move his legs (we don't know if it is permanent), but is still alive. Margaret, Huggins and John-Paul treated the infection, dressed the wound and referred him to Wau. Sabet was able to share the gospel with him as well.

Pray that Machoul will make it to Wau and receive the treatment he needs.
