Giggling as we run down the dirt road, life seems perfect. The rain is coming down lightly. Sulmi hops the barb wired fence and I follow her. As we run through the dirt, she comes to an abrupt stop. I look up to find three huge cows. We are trapped. We all yell for the cows to move. Sulmi resolves to throwing rocks. We continue on our path up the mountain. More fences to jump, beautiful views of the whole village, mountains to climb, cows to run from. Laughing and singing as we go from hut to hut inviting the children to the church for the program and praying with the parents. We ran all the way back down the hill screaming and laughing and telling more kids to come. We had a great day doing the VBS program for the kids and I have had many wonderful times here, but I’ll never forget when I was lead through the rainy jungle by a smiling, beautiful girl named Sulmi.
