Well, you may have noticed that I've been falling a bit behind in my blogging. There are a number of factors contributing to this. Some days, I've got to get to something (Monday nights are small group, Friday nights I help with the youth group, some nights I hang out with friends or church folks, etc.). Some days, I'm a little worn out and feel like there isn't much new to report, which is a bit silly because as much as I've written, I'm sure I can't really convey the experiences I'm having. Some days I just forget about it altogether. For all these reasons, I need to apologize to those who've been wondering about me and whether I'm ok. I am ok, and I'm happy that I've gotten more involved in the past few months. If it means I have to start blogging in the mornings or something, I should be able to handle that.
One fairly significant thing that's been going on regards a fellow missionary. The director of Children's Cup (his name is Mitch) recently had his appendix taken out in Swaziland. He has spent most of the past 6 weeks in a hospital in South Africa with tubes running through his body. I think it's mostly some nasty infections and he's not in great shape. Yesterday he was put back in the ICU, but the reports are that he's doing better. I know most of you didn't sign up to support an entire missionary community down here, but so far I have been enormously blessed with wonderful circumstances, health, and a great support network. So if you could pray for Mitch and his wife Char, I would be very grateful and consider it a favor to me personally. Pray for physical strength and healing for Mitch, and pray for emotional strength for Char as she cares for and supports her husband. Both of them are wonderful, caring, and giving people who I know I could count on if I needed them.
Thank you,
-Ben
