A couple of days ago I tried to send both pictures and a written message. The pictures made it to the blog, but I couldn't get the message from my document page to the blog. So now I will try to tell you what the pictures are all about.
September 1 is Spring Day in South Africa. The weather has warmed into the 40's at night and into the 70's or 80's in the daytime. The trees have leafed out, the flowers are blooming, and it is really pretty. Tim likes to watch the African Daisies that are just outside the St. Francis Care Center where he works with the adult hospice patients every day. Tim enjoys watching the flowers that have closed up at night open their petals in a variety of colors each day.
I have been working in the St. Francis Clinic, which is a walk-in clinic for HIV/AIDS patients. I have been doing the office work, especially with the paper records. There are currently two volunteer seminarians doing this job, but they are returning to their studies soon, so I am being trained into the job.
There is also a live-in place for the children to age eight. It is called the Rainbow Center for Children, and there are pictures of the building and some of the outdoor play equipment among the blog pictures.
Tim and I both have ideas for future blogs, and perhaps Tim will be writing the next blog for us.
