We have been here for one week and are settling into a routine. Fr. Dr. Beda is away on vacation for six days so Mark is covering the hospital alone which is very busy.
Fifty patients, two deliveries, and one minor surgery just today. Nick Markell, an Icon artist from Minnesota, is here now painting a beautiful Risen Christ icon in the Church. All the Druffner children have been assisting him. Molly is working to keep all happy with supplies for projects, big meals made on wood stove and daily prayer in Chapel. Work is hard but very rewarding. The sun shines, music rings out through the valley, new friends are made and we feel just a bit closer to our heavenly home here.
