Zengana

Yeshi came in today, so sad. Her neighbor was sick for three days, with rabies and she passed away yesterday. She has five small children, the youngest being a 10-month baby girl. It’s my tendency to want to fix everything, make it okay. This can’t be okay, so I will send along some formula and a bottle but it truly pushes me to prayer. 

A few Saturdays ago, we were able to enjoy God’s nature at a nearby crater lake. It’s a beautiful lake (unfortunately being deforested) but still refreshing and feels like a “get-a-way”, not bad for a 20 minute drive.

Getting out of the van, Tiger boy spotted Colobus Monkeys

Can you spot it? They were jumping through the trees.

It’s not always easy to really get out in nature here as we’re often a spectacle in this incredibly populous country. Miss T doesn’t mind. We are currently stretching her a bit as her preference for Mama makes it hard for her to be with anyone else.

Thanks to Eliza for all the photos! It’s so nice she grabs her nice camera! It’s great to get so many family photos.
