This morning Dad did a pretty amazing surgery. He removed a huge mass from a woman’s ovary. She is a 42 year old woman, and the mass made her look like she was 40+ weeks pregnant. It was incredible to watch them cut it off. It weighed 23 lbs! More than if she had been pregnant with twins! She looks like a different person now. Thankfully, it was not cancerous, it was just enormous. He also removed her uterus which was full of fibroids. We saw a few people in the clinic, but it wasn’t supposed to be open today. It is a Togolese memorial day, so the hospital wanted to give the staff a small break. This afternoon Dad saw a few follow up patients in the clinic. These people come the night before, spend the night in this little covered area, and wait all day to see a doctor. It’s hard to turn them away, because they come from hours away and wait patiently all day. It was a nice day, because it was a little slower. We went to the pool this afternoon, and then after dinner was prayer meeting. The container for the long term missionaries comes tomorrow. They are all so excited. It has a tractor, riding lawn mower, a bike for a missionary kid, and lots of other comforts from home. Please pray that they won’t have to pay too much to customs. Also pray for people that were witnessed to today. The nurse’s aide that helps translate for Dad shared the Gospel with a few people, and hopefully they got it. Thanks!
