Friday in Maseru was a great ending to a wonderful week. During the morning, we spent some free time exploring the city on foot again. For lunch, we joined the Harvest FM staff for an African Pizza Party…not too bad!

After lunch, we visited the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital in downtown Maseru. Passing out radios in the wards provided one of the most challenging experiences of the week. Conditions that lacked much of what we have come to expect in Western healthcare, patients of every age and varying grades of illness gave us the opportunity to offer some hope and light in the most dire of circumstances.

Following that visit, we loaded up for our final village distribution (Mahuu Rothe Maseru) about an hour south of Maseru and miles off of any main road. We reached the village shortly before dusk and given the fact that there was no power in the vicinity, we moved quickly to the task of love that led us there. Once again, the people were most grateful for the gifts received. I’m not sure if it was because of the indescribable sunset, the primitive culture, the reception of the village or the fact that it was the final stop of the week, this visit had a special quaintness that reminded our team of the depths of God’s love reaching every man and woman…

Tomorrow (Saturday), we begin the long trek home. Our time in Lesotho has ended, but the Journey has only begun. Thanks for your prayers, your time, your support…and…there’s more to come – check back!
