ebruary 18 2016 name change wandering wegners as we move towards a new location we are changing to a new blog wandering wegners come on over to see what we have been doing posted by anna at 5 33 pm no comments wednesday january 13 2016 update our debriefing conference at the beginning of november was a very intense time and one that we benefited from immensely it was good to be able to sit down with other people in similar circumstances and transition points and process our time in congo there were separate sessions for the children and they were able to do the same things we were doing with others their age we were able to get a sense of closure and become ready to move forward we spent the rest of november and december in eastern ky a few miles down the street from stephen s parents we enjoyed being able to be close to them for a brief time stephen was able to travel to three training session and do multiple other training or cme via the internet the kids and i continued school and we were all ready for christmas break one of the highlights of our time there was attending one of our supporting churches davidson baptist church we enjoyed being able to be part of the church fellowship and celebrating christmas with them december 2015 in eastern ky with stephen s parents we are now back in montana stephen will be working in browning at the same hospital where he worked in the past we will be trying to visit some churches and prepare for our next step while we are there after much prayer and deliberation we have decided to pursue an opportunity to work at the koutiala hospital for women and children in koutiala mali www koutialahospital org we are excited about what god is doing in the country and joining the team that is currently working there we are currently finalizing details and our goal is to move to mali in april after attending the cmda conference in greece we will still be with the market place ministry branch of the c ma for our supporters you can continue to give the same way you can make the check out to c ma mm with our names mm in the memo lines mm stephen and anna wegner if our names are not on the checks it may go into the general fun c ma mm 8595 explorer dr colorado springs co 80920 praises and prayer requests 1 the unrest in the republic of congo has ceased at least temporarily this is an election year and you can continue to pray for peace and safety for them 2 praise for closure and the readiness to move forward keep praying that god will direct our steps through the process 3 pray that we will have safety in our many travels in the months to come 4 pray as we prepare for mali posted by anna at 6 46 pm 2 comments tuesday october 20 2015 impfondo top 10 list medical version you measure a patient s labor progress by the amount of time she snaps her fingers and how much clothing she is wearing instead of using other monitors the golden hour of resuscitation becomes the wooden week of surviving just to get to the hospital pineapples can serve as a copay your consultants never refuse to see the patient you are the consultant your patients refuse to leave the hospital because they have 24hour electricity and water which they don t have at their house a patient s house made out of mud and sticks with a thatch roof no running water or electricity no lawyers no lawyers but we do have lots of other wonderful workers your presurgery checklist includes prayer and checking the fuel level in the diesel generator ian helping with the generator patient family members ask to see and pose with the removed body part after surgery surgery is often an open book test happy after a successful surgery you teach cpr to the bee gees stayin alive but we couldn t just stop at 10 here are a few more you have weight gain competitions in the pediatric ward you have to write out and coach parents on how to pronounce your name when they want to name their child after you baby anna that s easier to say and spell than stephen placing ivs nasogastric tubes suturing bedside ultrasounds are all spectator sports you hear patient surgery testimony in sunday chapels posted by anna at 12 00 am 1 comment labels top 10 list friday october 16 2015 top 10 marketing in impfondo pt 2 6 locally sourced seasonally available all of the fruit and vegetables are locally sourced and organic you can walk down the produce aisle and pick and choose what different ladies have to sale there s no searching for labels to certify this but with no preservatives and no refrigeration it s the only way to do things this also means that you eat according to the things that are in season a few things like bananas are available all year long other things have one or two seasons each year ranging from a very short mango season once a year to things like pineapple and papaya that are available most of the time mama claire sells onion and garlic every day she sometimes has eggs potatoes or dried beans for sale too she would always watch my bike for me while i shopped 7 no refrigeration with no refrigeration or preservatives you only buy what you need for that day or the next few days for example the one type of bread available is made locally with no preservatives if you don t eat it that day the humidity will cause mold to grow overnight it is possible to buy some fish salted or smoked to make it last longer i never quite trusted this option 8 one stop shopping even though there is no supermarket you can get just about anything you need from the various stores in the market at least anything available in town in addition to food there are other household goods hardware paint medicine and office supplies there is fabric for sale and tailors who will take your measurements and sew clothes 9 time and conversations the culture is very relational and it is important to take the time for conversations i m always kindly greeted and welcomed and people ask about my family s health and well being and other things about our family or the hospital it is more important to talk to people than to buy something from them and i have certain people that i converse with on every trip to the market this does mean that you can t take a quick in and out trip to the market sometimes what should be a simple search becomes complicated other times people are in the mood for long extended conversations and it would be rude to rush past them as long as you know to expect your trip to take some time you can enjoy the conversation and building relationships part of the openness in communication also means that it is ok to people watch one of my favorite things there is nothing unusual about standing and watching the world go by you can comment on what people are buying and doing and it s all part of the relational aspect of the culture sometimes i would get a cold drink at one of the few stores that had a cooler and stand and drink it while watching and sometimes photographing the action on the street and in the stores across the street 10 relationships my favorite part of the market is the people the market is fairly small and there were many people who knew my name sometimes my actual name sometimes by things like mama of isabelle or the giant s wife this meant that in addition to making friends i knew there was a community watching out for me on the rare occasion that someone spoke in a threatening way there were people who stepped in and chastised them i could leave my bike or my purchases with one of the vendors to pick up later i also had a chance to get to know a little about some of the different people their stories their joys and heartaches in a few cases i made some close friends that i will always remember and treasure the couple in the last picture got to know our family pretty well and they came by and spent our last evening in impfondo with us i hope you have enjoyed this little glimpse into the market in impfondo posted by anna at 12 00 am no comments tuesday october 13 2015 top 10 marketing in impfondo pt 1 marketing in impfondo after i saw this post about grocery shopping in djibouti i knew i needed to do one about shopping in impfondo it s a little different than shopping in the us ok make that a lot different 1 car what car it is possible to drive the 1 5 miles to the market but not really necessary i prefer to take my bike with or without the cart depending on how much i think i will buy on that trip walking is always an option too when you walk you have a chance to see more of the people and neighborhood on the way and they have a chance to see you and talk to you 2 cash only there are no checks or credit cards only cash but there is an atm you can use to get cash from your bank just remember that it is going to be a community event no privacy the line at the atm is watching the person at the front of the line use the atm it is common to offer advice to the person using the machine 3 open air market supermarket there s no such thing instead there is an open air market with some stores that are a single room attached to a row of similar stores they carry a small selection of canned goods and other household items there are usually the same things in most of the stores there are also stands and tables all throughout the market this means that when it rains the market closes down until the rain is over then it is necessary to wade through the mud puddles as you navigate the market 4 uniformity there s not any uniformity in the appearance of stores or in their height stephen was too tall for many sections of the market and even at 5 2 i often had to duck 5 packaging many things are not sold in packaging and you can buy the amount you need you only need one egg that s fine because you buy them individually things like dried beans are sold by the scoop fruit and vegetables can be bought individually or by the small stack unless you brought your own sack or container your purchases will be wrapped in newspaper or banana leaves posted by anna at 12 00 am no comments thursday october 8 2015 impfondo top 10 list you may have spent some time in impfondo if 1 you need a sweater long pants and socks when the temperature drops to 80f 2 you can remove your shoe and kill a bug or a bat in one smooth move 3 candle light no longer makes you think of romance or mystery but power outages 4 you feel like it s christmas when a letter or package arrives in the mail 5 you re not afraid to have spirited discussions about whether or not someone can use your banana trees as an outhouse 6 you say no thank you politely when someone presents a snake at your front door instead of running and screaming i wasn t really calm and collected enough to get a picture of the snake but the big lizard was another slightly scary thing we had to politely turn down 7 your children refuse to wear anything but flip flops on their feet flipflops machete what could go wrong 8 you think it s a good thing to match everyone around you 9 rainy days don t make you think of umbrellas but of unplugging all your electronics bringing the laundry in off the line and putting out basins to catch the rain that leaks through the roof 10 you can keep a straight face when people compliment you on becoming fat and reply with a kind thanks you too i m pretty sure this is how i look when someone tells me i m fat if you ve lived overseas what would your list include posted by anna at 12 00 am no comments labels top 10 list sunday october 4 2015 update sunsets from impfondo top and montana bottom our last update was about a series of good byes while we traveled from impfondo to brazzaville and back to the us we have continued to travel but this time it has come with a series of hellos as we reconnect with family and friends we have been in a period of recovery and exploration rest and recovery from our experience and exploration of our options for future ministry we are still trying to get used to speaking about our home in impfondo in the past tense instead of the present tense in many ways it still feels like home and our hearts are with many of the people there we know that god has the situation in his control and we can trust him with the hospital and people of impfondo we have slowly traveled west and we are now back in montana there has been the opportunity for us to talk to people who are serving at some other hospitals in french speaking africa there are four possible hospitals that we are considering and we would appreciate prayers for god s guidance in the process the children are all doing well they would have all preferred to stay in congo which made the initial transition difficult while they still miss impfondo they are becoming excited about our next locations we started school on labor day in georgia and we have been continuing to homeschool as we travel they have enjoyed catching up with their cousins and friends and meeting some new friends although in some ways we are eager to get back to ministry in africa we know that it is important to take the time to transition well we are still planning to spend around six months in the us we will be in montana until we return to the east for our debriefing conference at the beginning of november after this we hope to be able to share more details about the future we will still be posting a few things from our time in impfondo on the blog throughout the fall and winter thank you again for all of your encouragement and prayers for us left hiking in impfondo with sarah speer right hiking in montana posted by anna
