Maria is not doing well at all. She keeps getting fevers on and off and they have no idea what is causing them. But Stacy brought her to the doctor and picked up a prescription for her. Hopefully it'll help. She seemed to be doing well this afternoon and through dinner, so hopefully she sleeps better than last night. Last night she kept Marc and Stacy up through the night, so they were beyond exhausted. I'm realizing just how big a commitment and sacrifice it is to have children. Perhaps after these two months I'll want to wait before jumping into making a family. But I'm also seeing the great rewards and benefits to having a family.
I've been able to hear a lot from both Marc and Stacy about their hearts for the Bara. This town- Betroky- is the center of the Bara territory, and is the reason why they chose to live here. Very few Bara are Christians or have even heard the gospel. The Niles' focus has recently shifted to training the Malagasy to reach the Bara since they are better received than foreigners and they don't have the language barrier.
