don't get too used to this...

So, most of these I cannot take any credit for, but I thought you'd appreciate a few more pictures of what life is like around here. There are 3 different events here and a few shots from each just to give you a little taste of the last week or so...

Prayers for Caleb Amen: Today Friday 9 March

Is this not the most precious smile ever?! We went to the prayers for a new baby this morning, produced, er, I mean, given birth, by a woman named Nadi who has become a friend, that lives at the compound where Larissa has been doing home stay...this is the new baby. born Monday morning.
Here's the baby with his namesake, Caleb the intern, who celebrated his 22nd birthday the day after this little bundle was born. This precious baby boy was named Caleb Amen (caleb chosen by the maternal grandmother and Amen chosen by the woman "in charge" of the compound where they live)
Larissa and mama Nadi (this is her third)
Lunch (top = egg, middle = linia, left = beans, right = fish)
another shot...the brown blob in the middle is the dreaded linia, which I would like to report is becoming less and less dreaded each time I eat it!
