Under the Mosquito Net
Under the mosquito net Three years ago I received the official “call” to be a missionary doctor in Béré, Chad. Two years ago, my handsome Brazilian boyfriend joined me in Chad for my first month to help me get settled in. One year ago, that handsome Brazilian came back with me as my husband. This year, we brought our little son with us. I would never have imagined, three years ago, how much God would have blessed me as a result of being here. Our little son, Elijah, spends the majority of his time underneath the mosquito net. Sure we take him out for baths and walks, but sleeping, nursing, and playing are most frequently done inside the protective covering of our mosquito nets. (Thank you US government for donating them to this country so that we could buy them in the market for a good price.) Every month that passes, I breath a sigh of relief as he as grown a little older and a little stronger for the time which will inevitably come when he contracts a tropical disease.
