It had been a long, hot road up to the mountains of Covant… it started with our four-wheel drive, and then by foot, and then by mule. That was years ago. During a Mobile Clinic, a father came up to me with a “toddler” in his arms. I knew immediately he had “Kwashiorkor” malnutrition! The little toddler in the arms of his father had a “moon-shaped” face, swollen legs and feet, in fact… his legs were “splitting open!”

When I asked how old he was, his father said, “He’s seven!” I couldn’t believe it! We took him down the mountain, put him in a hospital and he was soon doing well… until a few years ago. While sitting in his class at school, (fourth grade), he had a “stroke!” He could not talk, nor move his arm or leg… It was a nightmare!

We had to send him out to doctors and clinics and also to physical therapy. He is 15 now and doing better. He is in the last year of Junior High School. He wants to be a Professor of Geography. Mackenson is quiet but when it comes to a Bible Quiz (who’s the first to find a Bible Verse) he is fearless!!! He doesn’t want to lose! Ha! He really loves the Bible and studying the Bible!

We all love Mackenson! Oh yes… he is also good at putting together puzzles!!! He is a terrific young man!
