THANK YOU!!!
My precious friends, I just wanted to say thankyou for all your comments and emails, and apologize a little bit for not being able to reply to all comments and emails. It doesn't mean that I care for you any less...I have just been overwhelmed running the business alone because the town my husband is in had the electricity and natural gas (heating/cooking gas) bombed, and without electricity there is no way to pump the water to the houses, so they went for weeks without water, fuel, electricity. My husband got some water from a neighbor's well, boiled it for a long time, but still he got a terrible kidney infection from something in that water, but now he is recovering and the power is on for 2 hours a day so he can help a bit more with our translation business. I was proofreading really interesting news articles for BBC, about 150 pages of them. I am sure learning a lot about what goes on in the world, and that the USA does not get all of the information about their leaders...just what the media wants to say to avoid panic or riots or fear etc. I guess all countries censor some of the news about their leaders.
One of the articles made me laugh...kind of out of disbelief and frustration. It was an article written by a person in the country part of Afghanistan (far from a city). He said "We walk for hours to get to a clinic or hospital, then when we get there, our patient has to wait for an hour for the doctor!!!" I thought AN HOUR!?!?! So Canadian medical treatment is worse than in the countryside of Afghanistan? What would that person think if we told him that in N. America we wait 8 hours to 3 days! In the province next to me, British Columbia, where my brother lives, he has spent 3 days in Emergency and his wife brought his meals and drinks etc. until he could be seen. Like I mentioned earlier, 2 weeks ago in Canada, they found a man dead in the ER waiting room, after he had waited 34 hours without care.
With this business work, I am pushing ahead like a horse with blinders on, day and night, and my breaks consist of trying to return an email or post this blog or pay a bill or do legal work to get my husband here, or take a nap of a few hours out of 24. I'll be finished today, thank heaven.
OH THAT REMINDS ME! I wrote to the highest government official in Canada to explain the situation with my husband, and she wrote to my lawyer and kind of chastised her for neglecting our case, and told her to hurry and get going so my husband and I could get together, so things are getting better and better!
Love you even when I can't reply.

Love you too Sheila!
I always read your posts
and wish you good health, pray for you and bless you!
I don't replay to my dear visitors too,
still the same - I don't have time,
and I don't like to be with Internet during night./only sometimes/
Maria is still sick.
Love & blessings

Wish you better health day by day and your hubby too.

Oh, by the way, I've offered prayers for you recently too at a service in church.

It's so wonderful to hear about all the step by step progress you are making--and it's enough that you keep us in your thoughts (not that we need you to--you have more important things to attend to), and more than enough that you let us know how you are doing!
You are amazing as always!
Sending you love...

Hi Shiela,
I would imagine how hard it is for you to do all those works of proofreading but you have to in order to live. I pray that the Lord will bless your husband and that finally you will get reunited in Canada. I pray that He will finally effect your total healing and use you mightily in the saving of souls. I pray that He will provide all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. I pray for the very best blessings for you from the Lord my dear friend. Take care of yourself always and God bless you and your loved ones always.
