After over 9 months in the hospital, Lazarus was finally discharged. His stump has healed well enough that he can go back to his village. His village is a ways out and can only be reached by foot or motorcycle. He has been told that his job now is to strengthen his leg and his stump in preparation for a prosthesis. Money has been donated to buy the prosthesis, he's just not ready for it yet. It was bitter sweet when we said goodbye to him. He turned away when we were leaving and would not look at us. He had gotten in the habit of coming to our house in the afternoons sometimes and watching movies or playing UNO with the kids. We don't know if we will get to see Lazarus again, but we hope that he will come visit sometime before we leave. OR maybe we can make it out to his village.
Please be in prayer for Lazarus and his grandmother. His uncle was the one that took them home and he seems to be someone who will look after them.
