Good news! Mr. Y.Y. and Kumba had a healthy, beautiful baby girl! They are grinning from ear to ear and doing very well. Everyone here at the Bible School is so excited that you would think each person here had given birth themselves! It is such a wonderful thing and such a testimony to the miracle of God's hand. They have been married for 9 years and have been unable to have any children. That is very unusual in this culture. Mom and baby are both doing VERY well.
We just had the privelege of having our missions director, Gregg Verbuff come and visit us for just a few days. I am telling you, he is just such an encouragement and so spiritually grounded. He was like a breath of fresh air and yet solid in his view on God's word and on missions. We praise God for his visit and couldn't say enough good about him. God made sure that he got to see some fun things while he was here too, such as monkeys in the wild and a hammock bridge.
Seth has a really bad rash all over his neck, trunk, and arms. He has been miserably itchy and it started about 2 weeks ago. Please pray. We were able to go and see a British doctor in Freetown, but he said that he had not seen anything like it before. He gave us several medicines and they seem to be helping somewhat, but it is not completely going away. Please pray with us that the rash will resolve quickly.
Avacados are ripe now, so we are enjoying homemade guacamole and have discovered a way to make our own chips. It has been very enjoyable. Pineapple is also ripe now and you haven't had pineapple until you have had one that actually ripened in the tropics. We'll enjoy 2 or 3 on your behalf. We miss you all! Have a great day!
