Reflections c ® & recollections . ~ ~ John Munday: Trials at Dispaj Nan Yet man is born unto trouble as the sparks fly upward. — Jeb 5:6 Our correspondence with John Munday (our teacher/missionary friend in Ecuador) tends to be a bit erratic and interrupted, but he has trouble as a constant companion. His latest letter has a new dimension in that department and I am offering it virtually unedited in the hope that some of his friends will send him a note, a card or both. It's that time of year. Read on, please and be thankful Casilla 2424 Quito, Ecuador, S.A., November 3, 1986 For the past month life has been somewhat of a struggle for survival. While I'm still buying shoes and uniforms and school supplies, all my charges are in classes and the big hurdle of getting them registered in their various schools and high schools is over. Head and chest colds are the order of the day and I've joined the masses in succumbing to whatever microbe of virus is causing the epidemic. My enlarged family numbers 40. Two of them usually sleep at home, but have their meals and spend the rest of their time here. I've also given them “total scholarships” ‘We also pass unromantically from crisis to crisis, and God continues to prove his faithfulness.’ for the second consecutive year. Two of the boys are some of our night watchman, but might as well be mine. Of the 36 remaining, 11 are blind, Galo, the deaf-mute, is still with us, and so are my three retarded boys. Christian, now twelve is back with me after an absence of two years when he was, on and off. with his mother. Since he originally came when he was two years old, this is really his home. His pathetic pleas to return were seconded by his mother so I relented. Fernando, 20 and Silvana, 14, who, for different reasons, forfeited their privilege of calling Diospaj Nan their home — I was forced to send each of them away to their “next-of-kin” in July — approached me separately and now I'm glad I decided to give each of them another opportunity to prove themselves. The change in each of them testifies to the value of their unpleasant months in exile For the past two weeks, Jorge has been on vacation, so I've had to take on his responsibilities as driver, shopper and errand runner in addition to my regular chores as mother and father. As a result, my days are extra long, from 5:30 a.m. to around midnight, and my nights very short. Yet the days slip by all too quickly, and the weeks and the months disappear into the past before I've had time to make full use of them. We also pass unromantically from crisis to crisis, and God continues to prove His faithfulness as Lord of these very crises. Often I share our economic needs with all the family. As they learn to pray in earnest, so they learn to praise and to wonder at God’s provision, not necessarily in our time, but in His. Some years ago, Jose Luis, now 18, underwent surgery for a congenital cataract problem. The result was total blindness in his left eye which subsequently lost most of its color turning a very tight blue. It has also receded while the right eye, with about 50 per cent sight has protruded somewhat. The other night he came to my room and wanted to share some very bad news with me. He felt he was losing the sight in his one “good” eye. He had been seeing flashes of light and experiences some tunnel vision. My heart sank, for less than a month ago I'd taken him for a thorough eye exam, trusting that another operation might restore at least some vision. The doctor assured us that no further operation would help him, but that his present vision was more or less stabilized. And now it was deteriorating. My heart went out to him. We prayed together and now I must make another appointment. Luis commented poignantly: “I'm brave. I have a hard heart!" (meaning he was ready for the worst). Other than his misshapen eyes, he's a fine-looking boy. Twenty-two-year-old Luis, my newest foster son, lost his sight a few short months ago. For him there, is apparently no hope, though I've promised to take him for another checkup for his own satisfaction. He has adapted well to his new home here, and appreciates the sense of belonging. Since his mother died when he was six, he’s had no home. Marsha, a fine girl (blind from birth) from California who worked with Peace Corps here in Ecuador for two years before coming here, is Luis's teacher. She is amazed at Luis's ability and progress. He will soon be writing and reading Braille. Jose Silva (one of my four blind Jose's) is slowly learning braille. He came psychologically broken and I suspect his six months with the Shining Path guerrillas (Maoist-style communists) in Peru are at least party responsible. Recently. a young Peruvian pastor visited us and confirmed Jose's account of his experiences “south of our border”. He also told of some of the many atrocities committed in recent months by this same group. Close to 40 evangelical pastors have been hanged and mutilated (shades of Adolf Hitler) believers terrorized, and another satellite tent town (in Lima) of evangelical refugees has grown up overnight to accommodate 3,000 persecuted believers from another part of Peru. Nonetheless, (according to my friend) the church is thriving, and few have denied the faith. This past month winds of opposition have blown upon the church which meets here. There is a temporary calm, but I suspect we're only in the eye of the hurricane. Satan himself is the instigator, for we have seen and continue to see tremendous blessing and numerical growth. His instruments have been a young couple gifted in many ways but overly ambitious for fame, as well as for fortune, and ruthless in their attempt to gain such goals. They have succeeded in partially fracturing the church, and sent one of our most zealous Christian ladies to jail for four days and three nights on the false accusation of stealing their jewels. It all created a delightful scandal to tickle many big ears and to loosen many over-active tongues of the townspeople down the road. NEXT WEEK: Conclusion Note: The picture accompanying last week's story on Westminster Abbey was, (as noted by Mayor Audrey Moore) incorrectly identified as St. Frances of Rome. It should have read St. Anselm of Canterbury (1109) with St. Dunstan (988) Abbet of Glastonbury and Archbiship of Canterbury. St. Frances of Rome patron saint of Oblates, is the statue of a woman with four children gathered about her. It is already hanging in the Abbey church Thank You From Tarrys Volunteer Fire Dept.
