I helped her to a bed while I worked on finishing up lunch. She wasn&rsquo;t doing well at all and I kept checking on her and sitting her up so that it was easier for her to breathe. She has tuberculosis and after several bouts of coughing etc&hellip;I was really getting worried about her.<\/p>\n<p>I called Steve who was with her grandson at our co-workers house to tell him I thought she needed to get to the hospital. Her grandson said she may just be hungry, so once she got settled down again, I finished up lunch. PTL she was very hungry and after two large platefuls of food, she seemed much better although was still hurting a lot and rested the remainder of the afternoon in bed.<\/p>\n<p>The grandma doesn&rsquo;t speak hardly any Portuguese, only Java&eacute; and a feeling of hopelessness came over me as I thought she could die here in my home and I can&rsquo;t even share the Gospel with her because I can&rsquo;t speak her language. I realized too the hopelessness she faces that she could die anytime, has almost died several times, but doesn&rsquo;t know our precious Savior.<\/p>\n<p>Please pray that we&rsquo;ll learn the Java&eacute; language quickly and be able to share the Hope of the Gospel with them.&quot; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please partner with us in prayer for our co-workers in the Javae tribe and elsewhere who are studying tribal languages.
