You are blessing me profusely with your day-to-day accounting of life in Togo. I love reading the different perspectives, job responsibilities, and writing styles of you girls. <br /><br />Ironing sheets...you are serving above and beyond! I remember, when I was about 10 and the oldest of five children of young parents, and hearing of a lady in our neighborhood who, "had no children, and couldn't have any, so she spent her time ironing her sheets, her wash cloths, and her husband's jeans." I thought that was so very sad. Even at that young age I felt the pain she must have felt, and her desire to serve where she was planted even though God had not yet blessed her womb. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm sure the ironing of the sheets is a service of love, and I commend the entire hospitality crew for the work you are doing! The scripture requires a spirit of hospitality in those who are to serve and lead the church, so you are doing a very important work!<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />Connie ReeseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
