Pink Eye and Good-byes at Valley Cathedral

Well, our time here at Valley Cathedral Children's Home in Naic has almost come to an end.
We leave on Wednesday for our next adventure. I can hardly believe that we've been here for 3 weeks already!! Life has been great!

We have had the unfortunate experience of pink eye while we've been here. Anna got it the other night. I was not happy about it. Our team had apparently bought out all of the eye drops from the local pharmacy! Thankfully a dear friend on our team gave us an extra bottle that she purchased earlier! It's pretty cool how the pharmacies work around here...you just walk in and ask for what it is you want!! Anyway, we (my roommate and I) prayed over her and she seemed to heal rather quickly. She didn't get it nearly as bad as the others. We continue to pray that no one else gets it and that we are ALL healed before we leave on Wednesday!

It's been a slow week. Yesterday was our last Sunday at the church here at Valley. I sat in the front again with my dear, dear friends Lorna and Nester. They have grown to be very special to Anna and I. They are strong in the Lord and we have quickly become great friends.
Last night Anna and I were invited to their house to see their home and just spend time visiting and in fellowship with one another. What a treat and what a blessing! We ate hamburger and spaghetti which Lorna prepared. It was good. We have been invited back to her house this evening to visit again. We're wanting to spend as much time together as we can before we leave. ;) Lorna also wanted to have us over tonight so that we can celebrate my mom's birthday. I was so touched by that!! So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! We love and miss you.

Today also marks the anniversary of my Grandpa's trip to our ETERNAL HOME!! I still miss him greatly, but I know that he is happy and in a wonderful place!!

Please continue to keep us in your prayers. I love and miss you all. I'll write when I get the chance.

Love in Him,
Liz and Anna
