4. Several weeks ago me and a few other staff from Spring of Life travelled to the village of J to visit one of our eight year old clients named Martha. We went to deliver a mattress for the family. They had been sleeping on a paper thin mat on the floor in their one room house. After visiting and taking food with them, we presented the gift. Mama Martha began to sing and dance with such joy as evidenced by her immedietely breaking into a tribal dance and waving her arms in the air. I wish you could have all been there to see her thankfulness to God for providing a bed for them to sleep on. It was truly an amazing sight and one that I will never forget.
