We also took a cake and celebrated the "Day of the Woman" to the delight of all. Some of the little boys didn't understand and I was wished a happy birthday several times!
We were so glad that Janet, Driu's mother, stayed for the adult study. This is the second time she has come and we can only pray the seed is being planted in her heart. We praise the Lord that Driu finally seems to be getting better after a serious and long illness that just wore out his little body. He did, indeed, seem to have more life and color.
On a sad note, one of the little girls who we have known since the beginning and who always comes on Thursdays, is missing. I hesitate to use her name, as the police have been involved and there is still no sign of her. She is 8 years old and has not been seen or heard from for a month. It appears that she left of her own free will, as she left a note and took some clothes from her house. Some think she left because of her abusive father. Some think she left because she stole a cell phone and the punishment for that is extreme in this community. Some think her older cousin took her to the next town, because she is also missing. It is all very strange and upsetting to everyone. Her mother is worried, her siblings miss her, and nobody knows what to do or how to find her. She should be in school, she should be playing and being a kid, but there is no telling where she is or what she is going through now. I struggle with wanting her back, due to her father's violence but we do worry and are praying much for her.
Until next week........
