I received another update message from Sister Elaine in South Africa:
Hi everyone,

The clinic finally opened after being closed for the Christmas holiday.  The first day back wasn’t too busy, but next Tuesday is already is packed full now that the folks know we’re open again.

Only a little more than a week till I get back.  While it’s been a wonderful experience here, I am looking forward to coming home!

Love,

Sister Elaine
