Ashley took this with my camera after our team's Passover dinner at the Myhre's
A little Passover wine (or mixed berry juice if you're under 20), a little candle light and a few readings made for a great celebration/rememberance of "the night our Lord was betrayed"
This is Ngongi who works outside for Pat and I, pushing Akiki and Lydia on the swingset down at the Pierces house on the Christ School grounds, I don't know who's having more fun, Ngongi or the girls!
Swizen, our long term Peds ward resident walking with Olupah the nurse...he's got quite the attitude and spunk now, it's really been an incredible process to watch his healing take place
Here's Joshua the tailor's feet hard at work...it's incredible to watch these old Singer sewing machines hum and tick - he says this machine rarely ever requires repairs as compared to the newer fangled ones that aren't as reliable.
Joshua the tailor happy at work (he was tickled I was taking his "snap")
Circumcisions: this boy is wearing the "I just got circumcized" outfit that I've seen around town frequently these days...kind of a different spin on the "halter dress"...
Church with a view after everyone had gone home for the day
I was too chicken to get a shot with the guy actually using this contraption but imagine a man in his mid to late 40's sitting backwards on the bike seat, pedaling, the bike stays in place and the circular thing above the back tire spins and he uses it to sharpen knives and other sharp things...African ingenuity I tell you! And the umbrella, that's the best part, who wants to sharpen knives in the hot equatorial sun?!
