Are You Ready? I Suppose....


Today I, Charlie, was able to see Yempabou for the first time this trip.  He has grown up into a man in the year in a half since I have seen him last, but it was like we saw each other just last week.  He and his family are doing well and I enjoyed conversing with him despite my limited language skills.  When I asked him how his tricycle was holding up he said, as we expected, that there were problems with the axles, which Jean and I knew about and are prepared to fix.  Please pray that problems that arise during our work on the tricycles can be solved quickly.

In other news… we went climbing up the ‘cliffs’ that look over the country in the late afternoon. Don’t worry parents it was safe, teams and locals do it all the time. The view from the top was incredible as we were able to see the end of the sunset over the country. It was a good team building time to figure out the best ways up and down and we all enjoyed the adventure (Mr. and Mrs. Johnstone she really climbed the ‘cliff’ with us it’s not just a posed picture).

And lastly we just came back from climbing the water tower at the station.  As it turns out twenty five feet up in the air is the best place to see the stars.   All five of the students (yes Mr. and Mrs. Johnstone Kate when with us as well) enjoyed the climb and star gazing.  Morning will come the same time it does every day, but we will see it earlier than some would like as we need to have eaten, showered, and SUNSCREENED for the day at 7:30.

Good night from Mahadaga.
