OK. Last part. What an adventure. First stop Rongo to visit friends of Benard (David / Sophie) who will be at our conference. Next we stop for surgar cain and are surrounded by people (mostly women and kids). I feel badly but ust push away (verbally) the mangos and bannanas an avocados. Thankful for Benard to help us. He did all the negotiation and interpreting (no English). I did not want to stop but what an experience. God is working miricles in all of us. We are so blessed. Last stop is a sculptue stand with soapstone items. Benard and Joseph help us to barter (wish Hunter were there, we are so bad). Gifts for home. Back at Homo Bay and tea with Benard and Joseph. We wish Benard could stay. His laugh is so infectous and his preaching is so fiery (and we can understand him too). What a day!!

I wonder if you saw any sugar cane spiders. They are HUGE and creepy looking... especially if you are afriad of spiders in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI saw one in SE Asia in a classroom that I was sitting in and paniced. It was much bigger than a tarantula and less hairy. Ick.
Sounds like you are learning a ton there. Thanks for sharing, Ron.

Ron...this is Whitney, Nicole's friend. Would you mind please telling her that I am praying for her and your group and I know God is using her in amazing ways. I am praying for her ankle and will be here waiting when she comes back.
ReplyDeleteIf she could just be reminded that she is remembered that would be great.
Holding down the fort in America and remembering to pray!
Sending my love to you guys,
Whitney
