This is a picture of Me-Miaw(I think the spelling is right) and her daughter Chom-poo. (like Shampoo with an short o sound)I played with her too much (not really, she was adoreable) and after giving her some U.S. treats (I gave her Good and Plentys, goldfish crackers and Kelli's jolly ranchers, she ate them all at once) from my bag, she grabbed my hand and started leading me up stairs...I asked Judy (director of the Well) where she was taking me and if it was o.k. She wanted me to see her room. So upstairs I went with little Chom-poo and she took me to her living area. It's just a room. Above where the Well girls work on cards. Its a 1" thick mattress on the concrete floor. Thats it. Since they can't afford diapers, another little guy peed on their mattress while we were there. It just dries. Thats it. No air conditioning so, they sleep in this little room w/their mattress on the floor. Thankful to have it.
Me-Miaw was "married" before she was saved. A lot of marriages I guess are just stating you want to be together before family. I guess they've had lots of troubles and times of apart and together, But once she was saved, Jim and Judy (Well people) showed them about living apart before they are married and coming together again, once they were married. That is why she has been living at the Well w/Chom-poo. I believe they are getting married tomorrow, Saturday. Me-Miaw gave her testimony to us on Monday morning through a translator before we started showing them card stuff. These women are just precious. Like Janelle, Card Making brought me there, but I'd love to go again and just work. Work with Nightlight or the Well. The Well, is totally a J.Hudson Taylor kind of work. They just pray believing that God will supply as they need. American Money goes a long ways there and things are so dirt cheap you can't even believe it. (I mean for us it is) Our money goes a long ways.
