At the Rear Window!

Anyone who knows me well knows I love old movies. Alfred Hitchcock’s movie, Rear Window, oftentimes comes to mind as I work at my computer studying and writing (sometimes all day!) in front of my rear window hearing all the activities surrounding me in the nearby apartment buildings. No, no one is getting murdered! In the discipline of studying, the hardest thing for me is keeping my fanny in the chair! The writing and processing take loads of time which has consumed all my free time! Only one more week left in my second 6-week course! Just 14 more to go with two week pauses in between!

I have been busy as well organizing at the Petros Christian Free Clinic and seeing patients there on Wednesdays and now Fridays. After seeing patients all day and speaking only Romanian with them, I arrive home pretty much brain-dead. For now, the pediatric hospital is on hold until autumn when the docs expect another doctor to arrive who will specialize only in audiology and in developing the new department there. I will then be able to share my knowledge with her. Please be in prayer with me – the $20,000, specialized piece of equipment that was donated to the project in 2004 is broken. Please pray with me that my computer guy, Attila, can fix it. Thanks!

Also, since Easter much has progressed in regards to my Mom’s transition from her home of 51 years into retirement living. Her house sold last month and the closing will be on June 20th. She moved yesterday to an apartment in Annapolis in walking distance to my sister Cynthia and her husband Dave and I heard that everything went very smoothly. A wonderful praise! Plus the house is even cleared out. Miracles! Please pray with me for her adjustment and comfort in this new stage of her life. Grateful to you all!
