still alive.... : )

I just realised it's been a while since I last wrote anything. And now I don't have much time! I'm feeling very stressed-out at the moment since I learnt my gran had a stroke on the weekend - it's so hard being so far away and not really knowing what's going on...I just want to be over in Austria with my family! Please pray for her recovery, and also that I'd have peace about either staying here or going over to visit - I don't know what to do!

The last couple of weeks I've been joining in with class at the ABC (Addictive Behaviour Counselling) school, as they have "open weeks" for the topics of Trauma and Sexual Addictions - exactly what Mary and I need to learn more about for the work with the prostitutes. It's been really interesting and eye-opening - half of it has been recognising just how messed-up we are ourselves!
Not much else is happening - I haven't been out to Mbiko in a while again, which is just as well, as I don't have much energy at the moment - just going to class takes it out of me! I'm so thankful for this lovely open base I'm on, where there are lots of quiet places to be alone, and also for having a room to myself this week - Rachel has gone up to Pader to the IDP camp again, to see how the people there are getting on since the teams from South Africa and Scotland left.

That's all for now.... : )
