immigration...lovely experience

I decided that you can not go away like this and not have some things stand in the way...but let me tell you, God has his hand in everything I am doing.

when I arrived in Malawi, they gave me 30 days here and then I had to go to the immigration office to renew my stay another 30 days (the highest they are allowed to give)...so this date was april 12...however, my mistake, i forgot about it until today...and i told kat about it, and this happened to her and she was told to leave the country. so she had to drive to mozambique and just walk a bit, grab a coke and hang out for 20 minutes so she could come back again and get another 30 days...so i was slightly in a panic today thinking this was going to happen to me, so we prayed in the hospital (we were there with a child) and so we prayed...i get to the immigration office shaking and sweating, and the guy looks at the stamp in my passport, and said i should of came in yesterday...so blessing one: he didnt count the correct amount of days...and blessing two: he gave me 60 days instead of 30! thank the lord!!!

the child we brought to the hospital is a kid with epilepsy and he fell into a fire years ago. but the way the burn healed made him unable to use his right hand as it was bent over and healed that way, so 3 weeks ago we brought him to the hospital so they cna perform surgery on it so they could cut it so his hand can have the proper range of motion a hand should have...and today, the child needed redressing to the wound, and he was crying such huge sobs..it was heart breaking, and then we were asked to leave cause it was such a bad thing to see, and they needed to hold him down to they could re dress it. these poor kids.

either this week, or next week we are going to go back to the child that was tied up. pray for that! that child really needs prayer!!!
