Black and White

Every New Year (well, for the last two) I make a list of things to do throughout the year.  Some are simple (paint my toenails), some are grand (like last year, move to Africa). Some can happen anytime (make fresh bread) while some take a bit of planning (see a rhino in the wild).  One of my items this year was to do a black and white photo story.  These are all photos from around the village that show our less hectic life here without showing the people.  I'll save those precious faces for another time.

A Special Celebration

All the families stayed in the dining hall after supper for a special celebration tonight.

Today was one of our minimissionary's 70th birthday!

All the kids came up to look at the cakes.

The birthday girl just beamed and smiled and took it all in.

The little ones craned their necks to see what all the fuss was about.

Then we passed cake and ice cream to every child, momma and minimissionary.

The kids savoured their special treat.

Every bite was appreciated,

all the way to the youngest!

Happy 70th!
