Happy Together

What a great team we are assembling here at Mapepe! The early team is inspired by the enthusiasm we are encountering from people both on and off campus.

We have gone through our supplies that remained from last year and found everything in good working order. Let me say a personal thanks to the work of Charlotte Bradsher and Linda Myers who purchased and organized all of our medications. Every med was labeled and placed in a storage trunk. They did a super job.

Another very special person, who I met only a few days ago is Susan Brownfield. What a servant! Susan has cleaned things, counted things, and washed things!! She has made it possible for our team to stay focused on our mission, instead of being distracted by basic daily chores of life. I feel really spoiled. Yet Susan never minds to complete even most common task. Thanks Susan for showing us what it means to serve.

Serving on a Medical Mission is not just about medicine, there are a lot our tedious tasks that have to be completed each day. With a large group, there is plenty of food to be bought and cooked, there are a lot dishes to be washed and floors to be swept. So when you lay down to pray tonight, please pray for every aspect of this mission trip.

We were created to serve not to be served!!!!

After reading your comments from the past few days I am getting so excited and anxious about all the experience I have facing me in the days to come. Our departure from Memphis can not get here soon enough. I am looking forward to making new friends and getting out of my comfort zone to help serve those who so desperately need it. I look forward to seeing you face to face. Stay healthy and I love you all! SHEMA WOMAN

Write it down, I was the first COMMENTOR
