Macedonia: Day Six

Sunday dawned overcast and cold! A cold front moved in during the night and we woke to highs in the 40’s. I chose to stay snuggled in my bed for awhile this morning and skip a walk in the cold. I went upstairs to join Jackie for breakfast and found that Daniel had been returned to us early this morning because he has started running fever AGAIN and now has sinus pain and pressure! The poor boy has had fever off and on for three weeks. Time to go to the doctor tomorrow. Sundays are usually not a good day for visiting because people are usually visiting with their families. Jackie and I were able to make one coffee visit and walked down the street to visit with Petranka, the mother of their son Joshua’s former schoolmate. She has been diagnosed with cervical cancer and is undergoing treatment for it. She was very tired and Jackie told her we didn’t plan to stay long. We stayed long enough to make sure she was doing okay, to get a status report and to pray with her. Danny and Kyle returned from their overnight stay around 2:30 p.m. I think jet lag finally caught up with me and I took the opportunity before bible study for a quick nap. We had bible study (church) led my Danny in Kyle and Jackie’s home. Danny sang while one of their youth, Elena, played the guitar. She also played for all of us to sing some worship songs. There is also another bible study taking place at the same time with Jeff and Amy at Jule and Atsa’s home. We had wonderful fellowship after church and a very late supper before bed. It was a fairly quiet day today which I suppose it should be on a Sunday. Until tomorrow…
