But today I want to take the opportunity to brag on one of our undercover heroes. We have so many that are not seen but without them the work would crumble.
As I was returning from Nepal one of our missionaries to Ethiopia, Katrine emailed me asking if I needed some help in TZ prior to the team coming. I replied that I most likely would. She then responded that she would meet up at the airport in TZ.
Katrine is one of our heroes. It took her seven days with a bus to go from Harar, Ethiopia to Arusha, TZ. Three of those she spent at the border between ET and Kenya - it had rained so much that the roads had collapsed. The guard post cleared out a room for her to sleep in until the roads reopened. When they did, Katrine climbed into a Land Rover and rode for 25 hours straight.
She was standing at the airport with a big smile as I came out.
Not a word of complaint. Always a big smile and the words "chigger yellum" meaning no problem. She pays for everything all the time and stands there with a cold soda or water to serve. She said goodbye to all of us yesterday by buying watermelon - what a treat!
She left this morning so that she can make it back to the base before the others leave to come and be a part of the festival team here in Same, TZ.
Thank God for people like Katrine. We need more people in the Kingdom like her.
C U soon!
