Babies and Rain!

HI folks,

It's 4:30ish pm here in Ghana, and we just finished lunch. (a bit late, but we were slow getting back from the city)

The big news is this. Sarah, our intrepid Doula, got a call last night (by call, we mean that a runner was sent up from the village to deliver a message) saying that she was needed at the clinic to assist with a woman in labour....and so she went, in the rain and stayed the whole night! (Babies come on Ghanaian time!) The end result!!!... a beautiful baby boy and a very exited Doula! Yeah for all!!!!

The other news includes a prayer request.

The good news begins with the fact that we did not lose a single day of work due to weather. We are excited by that, especially since it has been raining constantly since we stopped work!!

The prayer request is not because we are disliking the rain, but because we have a special need. Please pray for sun and wind tomorrow so that our laundry will dry! We did a big load after work on the site yesterday, got it on the line and it has rained hard every time our laundry is near dry. We need clothes for our return home and short stay in England.

Thanks....

More still to come............... Daryl

Have prayed. We've got our own humidity issues here, too... :)

you'll see the warning pic of me and my "sword", directed at Atta. We had internet trouble here, otherwise I would have had it up earlier. Blessings to you all, and love to my "straying" girlfriend!

I am glad to hear that the team is so ready to respond at a drop of a hat. Kudos to Sarah!
May God keep you all in His love, and send His sunshine and a gentle breeze your way! Amen

We pray for safe journeys, stressless good-byes, relaxing debriefs, and a smooth integration with family, friends and jobs. Once again, All God's children say, Amen
