 I bit the bullet this week and purchased a new camera since my amazing waterproof Olympus was lost to the Nile River. The great news is that my new camera is pretty sweet! I wanted to share some of the photos I have taken just in the past three days.
 
 
 Joshua (pictured above) was one of the kids that was petrified of the scary white people when we came to town. He used to hyperventilate when he saw us because he was so afraid but now he lets me touch him and even plays with me sometimes! In this picture he is not looking at me but I promise that when he does he smiles!
 
 
 
Some of the beautiful women we live with (Glory, Sarah and Agnus) who are all dolled up and going to a wedding. They have taken such good care of us in the house and work tirelessly to make sure we are well fed and rested to do the ministry God has called us to.
 
 
 

Jessica ministering to a little boy who was playing outside the church. While we are in the church we tend to draw attention especially from the children and we encourage them to come in and engage with us. Since the community is overwhelmingly Muslim, sometimes the children are fearful of stepping inside the church and will just perch in the door but we take full advantage of any attention they will give us.

 
 
 
 Another photo of Joshua. He is the son of one of the prominent church members, Grace, who leads worship and keeps order in the service. He is an aspiring drummer for the worship team and uses his stick to tap out the rhythm of the worship songs we sing. This kid has rhythm, for real and hes only two!
 
 
 

We have a little bit of a rat problem in our house. So much that they sometimes wake us up at night. The answer: a cat! She arrived about four nights ago in a bucket and so “Bucket” became her name. Of course I am delighted to have something furry around and she is gradually getting used to the idea of liking people.

On Saturdays we teach the children of the church and it is a great time of fun and laughter. We teach them songs in English and they teach us songs in Swahili and we communicate as best we can but have a wonderful time. Here Dennis is playing a game and attempting to draw a giraffe on the chalkboard.
