Good news and bad news...

Well, folks, I've got good news.

I got my eyes checked out yesterday -- everything is a-OK, which makes me a happy woman. My vision has come back to nearly where it used to be, and the pain is gone. So praise God for that.

On the other end of the spectrum, I have bad news.

I also heard the news on my computer yesterday. Its death certificate has been signed. I now officially have some other huge thing to stress about. (Whimper.) I guess this will be another lesson in trusting God for finances and to bring me through. I have to order a new computer today to get it in time to take it back into the Sudan, so please pray as I look for the money and wade through process of choosing and buying a new computer.

Well, there you have it. I'm going to try to resurrect my harddrive and get all my photos and documents off there. I'm hopeful I'll be able to recover everything and share it with all of you!

God bless you!

from the dark...

Goodness, it's been forever. Pardon me. The satellite we work from in Sudan stopped working with my computer, and my computer has since decided to stop working, as well.

Talk about technological mutiny.

We're on holiday now and will be for a couple of weeks. During that time, I hope to catch ya'll up on things and post some photos. Of course, that all depends on the resurrection of my computer. So please be praying for that, as replacing a dead computer will make my wallet... equally dead.

Things in our village are going OK. I know I left a lot of things hanging. Francis is better and just as cute as ever--a few people have asked. I'll try to get on here and update more in the future, but for now, I'm going to go enjoy a soda and a hot shower.

(Thank you, civilization.)
