Baby Diana


We just returned from the mobile clinic this afternoon. I love this set-up! We travel to the village and meet the people intheir own enviroment and at there needs. Throughout a month's time, 25 villages scattered throughout the mountains are visited with loving hands that provide not only medicines and recommendations but also Christ's love. Actually a minister will walk the village and round up the kids to tell them Bible stories and sing songs. It 'just so happened' that these last few days we were going to some of the same villages as I visited in December. This was great because I got to see if people had listened. Guess what? They did!!! One of my largest concerns from the last trip was a 15 mo old baby girl who had not began solid foods. She was lacking in zinc & iron as well as other vitamins/minerals. She was so depleted she couldn't walk. We entered our very last village for this trip and a beautiful woman came up to me. She said she knew me. I recognized the face but couldn't quite place her, then her baby came running up to her mommy! She was now eating solids and doing wonderfully. Baby Diana and her mother were such an encouragement to me.
