craziness

Oh, what a weird couple of days

Friday morning, Heather (and not anyone else in our room) woke up to the sound of a loud alarm, because robbers had broken into the office, which is around the corner from our room. They stole 2 computers, but God was in control, because they could've stolen so much more. Also, it would be fairly normal for them to come upstairs and find people in the house and injure or kill them, so I just thank God that that didn't happen. Everyone is safe, and none of the babies were harmed, but now we're working to make sure that doesn't happen again

Yesterday the power went out, but the generator kicked back in. Until the evening. Then, the lights went off and on about 5 times, and finally cut off for good. We had to rush one girl, who needs assistance with breathing, around to try and find some more oxygen. Fortunately, though, it went off early enough that we could call the handyman, who fixed everything within a short amount of time. Like I said, God is definitely in control over here

I can't believe that exactly 3 weeks from today I'll be home. To be honest, I'm getting pretty homesick. I love the babies, but 2 months is a realllllllly long time, and it has felt like a lifetime since I first came here. I love it here, but I'll definitely be ready to go back soon

Speaking of, I'm going to Cape Town with Heather at the end of the month! I'm so excited, because that means I will get to see penguins! It'll be a great break after working for 2 months straight, and I've heard it's a beautiful city. I'm so looking forward to it, and we are blessed enough that we get to stay with Melody's family or one of Heather's friends, which is much safer and cheaper than a hotel

Overall, it is just really obvious that God has His hand over me and everyone here, and this entire place. We have two sick babies right now, so continue to pray for them, and that God keeps us safe from any more robbers or attack

Thanks for all the prayers so far, it is crazy to see how God is answering them =)
