Sandra lives with her family in a series of little huts. The family has adopted us. On the left is "Ayaa" the true matriarch of the family. We spent the afternoon trying about 20 different national dishes, playing witht he kids, and learning to roast peanuts on a charcoal stove.

Holly-
You are so beautiful... I miss you so much!!! It brings tears to my eyes each time I get a picture of you in your African home. I miss you dear sister!
Holly,
I was very happy to see your recent posts and to see that all is well. Last I'd heard, your landlord had backed out and you had no home! Looks like this one is nicer anyway, so it worked out for the best. The other day I ran across the ring you gave me with the two hands reaching toward eachother and the thumb and forfingers touching. I've been wearing it to remember to pray for you and Ben and for Uganda too. I recently read a really interesting article on the Intervarsity website about Christian Pasifism. I think a better name for it would be "active Christian love". Here is the link: http://www.intervarsity.org/news/news.php?item_id=1161 Thought you might be interested. The author's arguments were had a theological and heady focus, but it was the heart of his argument that stuck with me. I was impressd by his conviction to follow Christ's example of love no matter what the cost. Something hard to talk about and much harder to do, but beautiful. Anyway, I am praying lots and lots for you guys, more for you than for Uganda ;) Love you both. Oh, by the way, Samuel ate his first solids on Christmas day! He was very excited about it too. I think he felt like a big boy with his little green spoon. I fed him from that little bowl I made that's yellow on the outside and purple grey on the inside and has pictures of wheat on it, you know the one. Miss you. Nickie
