Merendon Mountain Mission

Update: Sarah, Clinic, Toby, Leonel

I will try to give you a condense version of our lives lately. Sarah has been to see 3 doctors since she got out of the hospital(and has 3 more appointments with 3 doctors in the next 3 weeks). She has a sinus infection and is pretty congested(nasally). The ENT switched her to two new antibiotics so hopefully they will work. Please be praying that she gets rid of all infections.

When Sarah got out of the hospital we had a bad storm. The storm killed the radio for our internet service and our computer. Last week we were able to get a new computer(on Wednesday) and the internet fixed on Friday. The internet has been down again for the last two days so that is why I haven´t been able to respond to emails.

The clinic is keeping me busy. We have had lots of bronchitis and pneumonia. Anything respiratory related and we are seeing it. I sent a 14 day old baby to the hospital. I was shocked to find no one was waiting. Within 2 minutes, they were admitting the baby. I was really relieved. This was basically a miracle. I have never seen the hospital empty. It may have to do with the fact that the doctors and nurses have been on strike for so long that people probably think the ER is shut down. Whatever the reason I was very grateful that this baby could get help so quickly. Coffee season is starting so I have also had several wounds to stitch up.

Toby is working with Leonel, one of our ministers, on developing worksheets to help ministers teach other important doctrines and believes of other faiths. There are not a lot of books and information for the ministers in Spanish. We try to encourage reading as much as possible.

I am at a internet cafe so I need to close. We appreciate your prayers and support.

God bless,

Amy Hill
