Prayer for Mary

Please pray for Mary. Mary was one of the many that were injured in the Eldoret church fire in January. These kids are part of the Kikuyu tribe and the Luo tribe attacked their village after the elections. You can Google Eldoret Church fire in Kenya and read more if you want. I have previously mentioned her and 3 others that I have been visiting in the burn ward. When I went to visit them yesterday, Mary was not feeling well. She had a headache and fever. There is a spot on her knee that has recently been grafted and it looked infected. When I went to visit this morning, she was on her way to surgery for the knee. I prayed with her and will try to see her after surgery. I went on onto the burn ward and had a "math" lesson with Anthony and Mercy. We used beads to do our math and then we had "craft time" making necklaces and bracelets with the beads. These kids are so great. As I was leaving, Mercy laid on her bed and said that she was not feeling well. She has a fever. I prayed with her and hope that she doesn't get worse. It is unbelievable what these kids are having to go through.

I will keep you posted on their progress, but would appreciate extra prayer for these wonderful children. They love God.

I am going to a bible study today with the other missionary wives. I am looking forward to the fellowship and encouragement that I always feel when I am with them.

Blessings to all in the States, we miss you,
Amy
