six days.

In the last six days, we:

Met with our caseworker in Bangkok
Visited Musana & her family, our neighbor friends who moved to Bangkok
Flew to Mae Sot, arriving in the middle of Playhouse and a full house of kiddos
Met a few new faces
Made seventeen batches of birthday cake, for two neighbor kiddos & my own birthday
Had a birthday party!
Returned to Flour & Flowers, made deliveries around town
Learned of three neighbor families that moved away while we were gone
Learned who lost jobs, who lost homes; where the new places were
Learned of two cancer diagnoses
One was fatal within days–one death, one funeral
Another is in Yangon awaiting surgery

I don’t wonder at all why this town makes me tired.

    Wowsers. Talk about welcome back…! May God flood you guys with stamina.

    P.S. And…I just (DUH) realized that the e-mail address I’ve been replying to says “do not reply”. Which probably means that unlike your old WordPress site, you actually aren’t receiving any of my comments I send! Sorry I didn’t realize that earlier :/. Just wanted to let you know that I am frequently engaging with your posts. Um, even if it never actually reached you. Love from Africa!
