Saturday, October 11, 2008 Today was a warm day. Lois had her face in one of her two fans most of the time. At Margaret’s invitation four long time friends joined us for the mid-day meal. Baba Dibona and his wife Alice have been married for 54 yrs. He was a fantastic obstetrical nurse in the medical work here in the C.A.R. for many years, and his wife taught in many girls’ classes and camps with missionary ladies.

The other couple who came were young Dibona, also known as Dr. Dibona, and his wife Denise. They’ll celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in 09. Dr. D. treats PH-C orphans with much love. Wife Denise is a good teacher of Nutrition to the Fulani people. We enjoyed being with the older and the younger Dibona couples, people who serve the Lord with gladness.

Tuesday, 14 October ……… Tonight we’re “resting up” after a full day of Seminar. Becky did a good job teaching activities to help young children learn different concepts. Following lunch we had a “practice” session. During the 2 day Seminar Margaret, Barb and Lois all had a part in putting Becky’s words into Sango so the 29 teachers could understand. It’s been two good days, but we’re really tired this evening.

Lois translating Becky's lesson. 29 teachers attended seminar.

God showed us again His faithfulness in giving help when needed. We’re having a nice rain as I write, so we should sleep well tonight. Rain often keeps the sounds from the street a little more subdued, making it easier to get a good night's sleep.
