Something more...

I write again. I might have been a bit misleading when I wrote yesterday that we were all doing fine.... In all actuality...several of us were a bit under the weather. I didn't intend to be misleading...but I fear that I was. I didn't begin to feel unwell until after I had written...and the others...I suppose I didn't think of their ailments at the time. I was having some stomach problems...nausea type stuff. It was not fun. Worse than that though, were the stomach problems that Ryan was having down South. He actually saw his food again.... Also, Brea's foot has been bothering her some...and Kesha has come down with the strangest problem.... She has very little sensation...in most of her body.... She can move and do things...she just can't comprehend how she is doing the things.... Please pray for her. I don't know how Ryan is doing today...I haven't received another update from the Manjaku group. Brea's foot is better today...and my stomach problems have completely gone away. Pray for our continued health and safety for the remainder of our trip. Ok, enough about all that. Today was good. But, it was also sad. We visited Terokh for the last time. It was a lot of fun. All six of us went today (Chelsea, Kesha, Brea, Erin, Papa, and I). All of our traveling today was done via septplas...and we had them to ourselves. It was nice. It was much of the same in the village. The girls helped wash clothes and we all sat and talked and played with the children. We gave out several more books and answered some questions. Papa and I told some Bible stories. We revisited Adam and Eve, I talked about Cain and Abel, and Papa told the story of Noah and the flood. Later, the girls told the children the story of David and Goliath and then the story of Jonah. We also sang with the kids. We led them in "Yalla Baax Naa" and "Beesub te Jii." The girls also treated a few of the children who were infected with scabies. We had more Ceeb for lunch. It was a fun day. But, we were quite sad to leave there. I believe that Papa may be making a habit out of going there. That would be very good...so he can answer their questions. After we returned to Mbour (we got back just before 6:00), Brea and Kesha began on dinner. We sat around and read for awhile, and then, Papa and I took Erin and Chelsea down to the beach. We thought it might be our only opportunity to go to the beach here in Mbour, since we are leaving in the morning. However, we didn't arrive at the beach until after dark...so, we will probably go back in the morning before we leave.... It is only about a mile down the road. We have had a very good week here, and we believe that the Manjaku team has had an equally great week. Thanks for all of your support and prayers and please let them continue. God bless.
