Each day I am getting a little closer to opening the clinic...I am ready to start treating patients again. This is how the clinic will look from the outside. I like how the curtains provide some privacy, but still allow the light into the room. The furniture is all in the clinic, still waiting for the privacy screen, the frame for one table, and an exam stool. The privacy screen is really needed...although privacy in Malishevë is nothing compared to what privacy means in the US. There is definitely no HIPAA here.
I have two portable heaters in the clinic...it takes them about 30 minutes to nicely warm the room, when I have electricity. Don't know what I will do when I don't have electricity...I may have to close for that day.
It has been the little things that have taken the longest, like remeasuring the curtains, and the rugs, and continually sweeping dirt up. Where does all the dirt come from when nobody is in the clinic?
The Lord has called me to be a part of His work in Kosova, and I consider each of my supporters, whether through prayer or finances, to be an integral part of that work.I may be the one actually living in Kosova, but in my heart I believe that each of my supporters is right here serving along side with me.I am greatly blessed by each person that also has a heart for the Lord’s work. God has shown me that He will provide and He is the one who goes before me for the work He has called me to do.
“And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you.He will be with you.He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear or be dismayed.”
The Lord has provided several opportunities for me to go directly into homes located in small villages surrounding Malishevë. There are many patients that, due to the severity of their injury or a lack of transportation, are unable to travel to the health center in Malishevë. There have been a few families that were able to travel to Malishevë and pick me up and take me to their home. It is a blessing to be able to build a relationship with the family as well as being able to help the patient or caregiver in some way.
God has provided 6500€ towards the purchase of a vehicle.
