Friday is here! (And the best Friday - the reason I am here) :-)
We finished school before lunch. :-) All involved were pleased.
After lunch, I went and had a wonderful chat with Desma, and we prayed about lots of good stuff. She is awesome, and a true God-send…we are cut of the same cloth. So much of her life she has shared with me can be gleaned from where I am right now. And I will be meeting with her and her husband, our Field Director, Barry, in a few days just to talk about future possibilities. I do not know for sure what is next, and it depends on soooooo many factors. If Haiti comes together, then GREAT! But I am eagerly seeking God to discern what is next for sure. Conversations are in progress, and I’ll share more as I can. Prayers are APPRECIATED so so much in this season.
Right now, we are hosting a discipleship weekend for many of our Baka friends from all over the area. Some have traveled a significant distance (over an hour drive, not sure how they got here, whether by moto or walking). There is a GREAT turnout! We were in school, but I heard them singing before starting their teaching, which was lovely to hear in the morning time. I heard some about the teaching, too, from our team. There were sessions where they learned about nutrition and some local foods they can grow to have more nutrition, and tomorrow they will learn more about the value of protein. With Barry, they got a picture (from a coloring book, completely random) and had to tell a story about it, embellishing at will. They will learn some bible stories over the next few days, and learn how to tell them in the Likano (storytelling) style. Then they will be able to go home and tell stories without having to have a saber player (we have some of these around which have all of the stories which are in the Baka Likano style and their language). These folks will be able to teach others the stories, and so share the gospel. Cool stuff.
A little sad – today we lost the baby bunnies. :-( They didn’t make it, even with the attentions of Laurel, the kids, and I. All was done that could be done. :-(
