\"blog<\/a>\u00a0Our friend, B, braved the officials at the barriers on each side of the border, as well as braving a return to the town she was chased out of about 2.5 years ago. She needed to come to our mission hospital for treatment of a very badly infected foot.\u00a0 At one point we were wondering if she would need an amputation, but thanks to prayers and the persevering treatment and care of the hospital staff, she returned to her home on Thursday, with an almost completely healed foot.\u00a0 \u00a0As we pulled up to her home, you should have seen the joy of her family!\u00a0 She and her daughter (who went along to cook and care for her) had been gone over 2 months.\u00a0 The kids, jumping up and down and smiling, grabbed her hands and led her around to the back of the house where her room is.\u00a0 It was interesting to watch how her husband greeted her, as it is very important in their culture to not show emotion.\u00a0 It is a rare sight indeed to see a husband and wife even touching hands.\u00a0 As she came around from behind the truck, getting her bags, her husband passed her, and calmly said \u201cHello\u201d.\u00a0 That\u2019s all. \u201cHello.\u201d Not even a handshake, but certainly a slight grin.\u00a0 While the grandkids climbed all over her in her room, we 3 missionaries who had brought her home were invited in to the husband\u2019s living room \u2013 read: bare brick walls with a mud floor with mats to sit on, a bench and a plastic chair.\u00a0 We were treated royally by the hubby and 2 of his brothers and 2 of his adult sons.\u00a0 We were fed hot sugary tea and plenty of food, and we had a very sweet time of talking and laughing and most importantly sharing about how thankful we are to the God who loves each one of us.<\/p>\n
