This morning when I was cleaning rice I felt really tired and sore, and for a split moment I had the thought, "I could never live in a village for a long period of time..." I'm not sure why such thoughts flood my mind from time to time. Obviously with my own strength I cannot do anything, but through Christ I can do all things. That doesn't mean it will be easy, but He'll always give me the strength to get through each day...
I'm falling in love with the people here, more and more each day. Today Stacy, Narina, Fara, and I baked banana muffins together. Even though I can't really communicate, I'd like to spend more time with Fara. She's 15 and has been having trouble sleeping the past three months. Stacy says she may be experiencing what she went through with postpartum depression- panic attacks. They're often caused by a lot of stress. Poor girl... I guess she's often home alone because her parents are so busy and she has a lot of extra responsibilities. I hope that if she is experiencing panic attacks that Stacy can help her since she's already been through it... I just need to be faithful in praying for her.
