a picture request

In the late afternoons, if there are no more patients to see in the OPD, we conduct our own afternoon rounds of checking in on the in-patients. Kaley (our translator) has taken it upon himself to join us for these rounds so that we are able to better communicate with the patients. He is very thoughtful and gentle with the patients, and we are so blessed to have him work with us. This has become one of our favorite parts of the day.

A few days ago we were checking in on one of our young patients (more on that later) whose bed is besides this beautiful woman. In perfect english, she says "Excuse me, I want picture please." We had only heard her speak a few words in english before, so it not only surprised us but made us laugh when she requested a picture. After her request, she put on her fashionable KRCH shirt and grabbed Jessica to join her for the picture. We hope to be able to give her a copy of the picture when she returns for her follow-up visit.
