A message for Becky!

Today I found out that it is all worth it. All the sore feet, all the frustration with the language, all the missing my kids, family and friends back home, all the drenchings we get when the sky suddenly opens up and all the times when I thought I would never be able to do this - it is all worth it when you find someone genuinely interested.

As some of you may know Becky and I have had some great talks with Susie the Peruvian girl. Well as some of you may also know, Becky is recuperating from the major operation she had yesterday on her neck so I had to go on my own. Well not quite on my own - I took an local sister with me but basically I had to do most of the talking. Becky would have been proud of me I am sure. We had another lovely brief study and we talked about the meetings with her also. She would like to come! Then as we were about to get up and go she asked if she could phone her friend (the one that took her book a couple of weeks ago) and would we wait till she got there- which of course we did. The friend, Maribelle, came from her work so it took a bit of time for her to get there on the bus but when she did, we were able to study with her too for about 20 minutes. We made arrangements to go back to her on Saturday. Maribelle's main question was - who is god? So of course - chapter one has been the perfect place for us to start with her. Of course I came away just about floating and as I said all the hardships we have gone through in the last 7 months don't mean a thing anymore!
