Simwaanda or Bust: Away from communique's for the next 9 days

Won't hear from Lizzie over the next nine days.  She's actually in the villages (Simwaanda) teaching them about microfinance, delivering a curriculum to set up local savings and loans. Simwaanda is 27 miles out of Choma, along a "cow path" so internet cafe's are a lacking!  She'll work there with a partner (another student from Messiah College) and an interpreter.  She's asked for prayer, you see Liz usually speaks to one or both Lucie and I every day, sometimes several times a day.  She also emails, talks to friends, Pat, Abby ... and then there was the continuous drama of living on campus with deadlines, grades, job searching ... well, she has none of that right now.  It is a great time of introspection and relying on the Lord ... but all very scary just the same.  Can you take some time and ask that angels would minister to her and that she would feel His presence, very closely and very real?

Liz also has cankles ... which is not a technical term, but she does get swelling in her feet and they've been bothering her (aside from giving her less than Betty Grabel-esque looking legs, they can be quite uncomfortable).  Don't know if the tropical temps exacerbate the condition, but she is being hampered by the swelling feet.
