En-Gedi Mission Trip Update #4

We praised God for a restful night and enjoyed another delicious breakfast prepared by our cook, Rose. We are thoroughly enjoying the fresh fruits grown at En-Gedi or nearby farms!

We heard last night that three or four En-Gedi kids had fevers and were not feeling well. A few became sick with vomiting and diarrhea during the night. A few of us ladies also felt a little “off.” We decided it would be in everyone’s best interest not to visit the En-Gedi kids today. Instead, the four of us enjoyed coffee and devotions together outdoors.

We unpacked four large pieces of luggage we brought along that were filled with donations for the En-Gedi children. There were blanket sleepers of various sizes, clothing, socks, bed sheets, toys, medical supplies, diaper liners, towels, blankets, and different storage items. We also brought some of Margaret’s favorite flavored coffee and other gift items.

Since we planned to go on a safari over the weekend, we washed some clothes and re-packed a bag. Our driver will pick us up at 7:30 am tomorrow.
