Sick As a Dog

That was me all day yesterday. Just like the picture, except there’s no way I would have had any soup and crackers near me.

 

I’m glad to be a little better today, but I’ve got a whole lot of work to catch up on.

Photo from the Children's Home

Oldest daughter sent this photo from the children’s home outside Capetown where she will be working until February.

 

She is working in the “baby house” and loves it there. It is, she says, absolute chaos, with 4 workers and 32 little ones, and when she’s done with her shift, she just wants to sleep.  But she still loves it.

Her internet connection is slower than Carla’s, if you can imagine that, and uploading photos is a nightmare, so this is the only full-sized picture we got. The rest are small and not very clear, but if she should manage to send more good ones, maybe I’ll post some more.

Off to South Africa

Oldest daughter left us today. By the third week in November she’ll be in South Africa working in an orphanage. Right now, she’s in Vancouver taking care of some business before she goes, and then she’ll spend a couple of weeks in Europe visiting WWII sites. (I’ve told you she’s  is a military history fanatic, right?)

She is very nervous to be travelling overseas for her first time, and going alone, but I’m sure she’ll be just fine. She was also very sad to be leaving us behind. Prayers for her would be appreciated.

So no post yesterday.  Probably only this post for today, too, since I’m busy working on a post for tomorrow’s Reformation Day Symposium. I’ll try to post this week’s theological term and Westminster Larger Catechism posts later in the week.
