Roy and Dad are coming back from Freetown today - Hurray!!! We have certainly missed them. They thought that they would be able to leave early in the morning, but unfortunately they were not able to head out until noon. Getting out of Freetown can take hours because of the holiday traffic. So, they will not be here until late in the evening. Roy called to tell me that they were half-way here. Praise God for cell phones here in Africa, because otherwise we would just have to wait and wonder. Abby doesn't know it, but they are bringing a kitten for her for Christmas. She is going to love it!! However, the kitten doesn't love traveling, so Roy is putting the cat back in the box for the 350th time. Poor thing!
Sheku's mom came by today and said that she is going to be traveling home to see her family for Christmas and wanted to know if we would pray for them right before they left. She came all the way from her house with her two children just to ask me in advance if we would do that for her. She was so happy that we would. Wow!! She is a really neat lady. Sheku says he is feeling better, but he is so weak from being sick so long that when he came down to play with all the kids, he fell asleep on the porch. Please pray for him, that He will be well again soon and able to run and play with all of the other kids.
