Dedicated Nurses

Yesterday we visited some more of the 17 Nazarene Clinics that we have here in Swaziland. It seems as if we have been here long enough to have seen them all but we still have 5 that we have not visited. When we go out to them we have to have Matron Anna the Community Health Nurse from RFM or someone else to go with us. We can not find these places on our own. The second time is a little easier but remember when you get out into the bush there are No paved roads, No road sign and so you just have to find your own landmarks. They use trees a lot here. Well sometimes the trees all look alike to us.

One of the Clinics or should we say Nurses that we visited really stood out to us. She is working by herself, but awaiting the arrival of another Nurse. The Clinic is 45 km from Manzini and 20 km is a dirt road. We saw no other vehicle on the dirt road. She has no transportation. But she has dedicated her life to helping those in the Bush to receive the needed Medical Treatment. There is a Church on the Mission grounds but the Pastor ans family live in Manzini. She is basically out there alone doing the work God has called her. Now that is Dedication with a capital D. She was very excited to show us the clinic and her Church.

Pray for all those that could be working in town but have given their lives to help the less fortunate.
