Anything is possible!

Friday 4th December

The town is busy, Over run with young people doing an amazing job of painting, art work, teaching, medical work. These students give up two weeks of holiday to come and serve in Bulembu and get a lot of work done, the clinic is definitely benefiting this year, they are giving the outside a good paint and freshen up and have supplied us with a paramedic, a registered midwife and two medical students who are seeing patients and responding to Emergencies. Sometimes it has seemed a little overwhelming attending to medical needs especially since it has only been my Canadian colleague and I for the last month. My niece is also visiting and as a final year medical student her expertise at the clinic is appreciated.
This week the new midwife started too, she is efficient and seems to know what she is doing , however, coming from another place she is doing a few things quite differently than we are used to but I am sure things will all fall into place and she will settle in well. This means we can recommence antenatal care and PMTCT (prevention of mother to child transmission) again which is needed here in Bulembu.
School is busy rehearsing for their end of year production and closes for Christmas on 11th Dec.
I feel our time in Bulembu is coming to an end, not by our choice though which is sad but by rules and regulations put in place by the management here. Ultimately though I know that GOD is in control and whatever the outcome is I believe it is the right one for us whether it is staying here or leaving! Many things are changing, people being shifted from place to place, new people coming in, many younger models, and many people getting hurt unfortunately as they are replaced by more accommodating individuals.
Fortunately during our stay here we have formed relationships throughout Swaziland and know that if we have to leave Bulembu then the Lord will open up another door here in this country until it is time to leave Swaziland.
I believe that the Lord has placed our children all over the world for a reason and one of the best things about it is that we can go and visit our children and ANYTHING can happen! WE are flexible and want to follow the Lords call to wherever he places us – Isn’t that exciting? I love to travel and am happy to follow the Lord wherever He wants to take me and my hubby.
