In the village, feeling better.

J short note as I head back to the village, after a few days' visit to the capital city of Yaounde. I'm doing well, although my illness came back, with an even worse kidney infection than before. Now, I've been on a better treatment, and I am mostly cured, thank God. However, I have to keep coming in to the clinic for regular evaluation for a while, so I'll only be back in the village for a week.
God is doing a lot of great things here. Two weeks ago, some of the local volunteers for the Kwasio language work discovered two different collections of hand-written hymn texts. We have been hoping to find old hymns in Kwasio which could really express some of the lost zeal which the first Kwasio Christians experienced back in the 1910's to the 1930's. We have been working to find these old hymns for the last two years, and He had collected about a dozen of them. Now we have found about 5,000 of them! So that is a great blessing.
Thanks for your prayers. I hope to write more soon. God bless you, --Dan
