Lets count outfits...Well life lately has been good... i am so tried but life is good! While looking at the pictures we have taken recently i have realized... bare with me... that i wear some really interesting clothes! So while checking out these pics and short stories let me know what you think about my sweet threads! I mentioned a little girl that i got named after me... bless her little heart... poor little Krystal cries all the time... but here we are! She is pretty sweet!
Recently we went to a BIG party in our village... big party... really our women started talking about it and we ordered our matching outfits months ago!
But sadly this big party was kinda a bust... really actually... in asking what we were going to do all we were told was, "Wear our outfits, eat rice, not work, and dance!"
For months this is what we were told about our women's party... but the day came and this was not the case.
We showed up in our big pink doily outfits and came ready to party... but sadly what it really was was a traveling dance party that went to dance, sing to and worship all the False gods in our area.
Really.
We got there and our brother turned to us and said, "Do you remember the story of Elijah and Baal? This is Baal." Not kidding.
In this shot a large group is singing and dancing to one of these False gods at his little hut (which is the actually location where a fetish is kept.)
It was a tough day...
It is hot and dry now... really, again, so this a shot of bricks drying out... because when everything is hot & dry and everything is built with mud and mud bricks that means it is construction season!
Monica and i bought a moto! Yeah we are rebels...
[note: With all of Mon's lovely attire here... she is still wearing pearls under her matching blue helmet!] Here we are getting it out of our house, because all motos are kept in houses here, to go to a testing session in another village... Right before Easter Monica & I went to Amy & Susan's village to party with them...
this is pre-party...
but it was a cool time where they were able to bring in a drama team to their area and we just got to hang out and be in the back ground.
It was sweet and several hundred people heard the Good News that night! This is a shot of us crafting under our mango tree...
I don't rememeber which story we were working on there but i know the next story i am working with my crafter on is from Isaiah 53... so you can pray for that!
Of course we had tea... we always have tea while we craft! This is Brehima, our back-translator... plesae pray for him!
Here i am again with our brother testing a story...
Pray for this brother, Anson- right now we are praying through the details for his baptism! A new friend... thankfully he didn't stay too long!
Just last week the Catholics in the next village over deticated a new church building...
They throw a good party too!
One thing i really like is the stained glass windows... they are very African and the captions are even in Supyire!
Here i am on Sitapha's moto on the way to another village...
see here's Sitapha (our crafter travels with us to one of our villages for testing!)
The Forts... i like them a lot...
Random picture... Here we go... a lot... maybe one giant blog post! |
