All decisions about what & how to build here always heavily take in consideration the future...when the Sisters hand this whole operation over to the locals &/or future Sisters. Will they be able to maintain it...cost efficiency...availability of replacement parts...and will it be nice enough so any futures Sisters can be given "an offer they can't refuse"...they call it the Godfather offer. Both Sisters should be wearing name tags saying: nurse, doctor, building contractor, master carpenter, builder & handyman. They have learned an enormous amount hands-on! I love the model they have sitting on their kitchen table--that they truly follow:
A missionary goes where she is needed but not wanted.
She leaves when she is wanted but not needed.
