Lydia

This morning was mums n' tots. I can't believe it's already been more than a week! I already feel much more comfortable with people!

Then I had the privilege of going to visit Lydia. She is a precious woman that is a bit older than I am. She was diagnosed with brain cancer last year and has undergone treatments. However, there are many complications that have followed the treatments. Since she isn't able to work or move around much right now, she can tend to be confined to the house. It was absolutely wonderful to visit her and have an awesome conversation with her. She is trusting God through one of the most difficult circumstances she will ever face. What a joy to be in her presence. I asked her what she did in all her time at home. She makes cards a lot. So I asked if we could do that together. I made a Father's Day card (which will arrive to you late dad...sorry! Forgot about the mail travel time to US). It was wonderful.

I then went to spend some time with Garreth and Angela Lloyd. Ate a yummy meal and talked over tea about his time in the US and my time here. We then loaded up their mini bus (it was a real mini bus to fit their 7 children and many visitors) and went on a car ride through some of the countryside. I am always amazed at the beauty that surrounds me. We talked about what God is doing throughout the areas adjacent to Merthyr and where harvesters are still needed to do missionary work among these rough areas. It's going to take lots of prayers, brainstorming, and ACTION.

Tomorrow is another busy day! Not finding much time to read. Had this idea that I would spend hours upon hours in empty fields reading books. God had other plans to spend time with people...which I love love love! However, I do want to allot some time to extensive reading of "Heavenly Man" next week.
