Hi Everyone,
Wednesday night, all the staff had our monthly dinner get-together and the theme was "An African Luau" and we were supposed to dress festively. I went to our little store and they had colored bows, so bought 36 of them and tied them onto chains that Crist and I had and voila a lei!!! The leftover bows I stapled to a hat that I had brought with me. At the table with Crist and I are Victor, his wife and Mabel, their daughter. Victors helps B2B alot and he feels like part of the "family."

The picture above right is all of us and children as the evening is winding down. It was a fun evening. I was told that I was the most festive of the evening - grin!! The below pictures are of Moses (the village doctor's son). He and Crist went medical shopping once again on
Wednesday afternoon. Just thought I'd send along some pictures of some of the things that were purchased. We are so thankful for individuals who have contributed monies so that the village doctor can have these supplies. The Body of Christ - amazing!!

I thought you might find these next two pictures interesting. What do you think they look like - these "things" on the ground right outside our entry door? We are told that this is a strange thing that happens during the rainy season. These are the THOUSANDS of wings left over from the flying frenzy that the bugs make every few days or so. The bodies are about the size of a small pea but the wings are much larger. They frantically hit up against the doors and windows trying to get inside to the light. Their life span is only a matter of a few days. After they die hitting up against the walls and doors - they die and in the morning THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO TRACE OF THE BODIES - only the wings. Unfortunately, our doors and windows are not sealed tightly....so.....we had on Wednesday night probably 20 of these critters flying around our apt., which we swatted and killed and swept out the door. It will happen again in a few days or maybe even tonight - just another interesting aspect of living in Jos! God doesn't want us to get bored with living here, so He continues to surprise us with the unexpected!

In-joy,

Eileen and Crist
