JUMAIDA SUFFERS SETBACK Mon­day this week, Jumaida’s body began to swell in all limbs plus her face. This usu­al­ly means ane­mia, but her lab work showed a Hemo­glo­bin of 9.9. The cul­prit proved to be a mild case of malar­ia caus­ing a pro­tein defi­cien­cy. She was placed on med­ica­tion, and sent home with orders for a high pro­tein diet of eggs, Hypo cere­al, and sev­er­al vitamins.

Baby Jumai­da want­ed her rab­bit in the pho­to. Fos­ter Moth­er, Maris­sa holds them both

We will be giv­ing her the same foods that helped our Ergilsia to over­come her pro­tein defi­cien­cy. Lots of prayer pow­er need­ed, as she is only 7.5 kg at 2 years of age. Jumai­da is the only infant we have that refus­es to grow, no mat­ter what we feed her.She is very weak now due to the med­i­cine killing her appetite. PLEASE PRAY FOR HER, AS SHE NEEDS A SPECIAL TOUCH FROM JESUS! 2 ANGELS GROWING UP TOGETHER Both of our Angeli­nas (means Angel), one  6 years old and the oth­er 17 years old, have grown up togeth­er in the same home here at our mis­sion. Even though they are NOT blood relat­ed, they are clos­er than any blood relat­ed sis­ters could be.

Doing lit­tle Angelina’s hair is one way that the old­er Angeli­na shows her love for her lit­tle house mate.I took this pho­to at our CIS lun­cheon this last Sat­ur­day. The hair­do on lit­tle Angeli­na was excep­tion­al, and when I asked who did her hair, she point­ed to her old­er house mate, Angelina.

Our chil­dren are so car­ing for each oth­er, and except for our 2 sets of twins, it is hard to believe they are not blood rel­a­tives. The rains con­tin­ue in earnest, so we have been ditch dig­ging and build­ing water diver­sion dams to try and con­trol the run off. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO TO HELP US.  BLESSINGS, BUSH BUNNY BRENDA LANGE AND THE BALAMA STAFF
