Snapshots: life life life

Here's the last few weeks through my eyes:


My sister, Dorcas!


Doin' laundry


Being laughed at for doing laundry


brushing our teeth, African style!


Jonas, being... Jonas
-----
The rainstorms are just beginning!


Dorcas cooking dinner in a torrential downpour!


It was beautiful, and an amazing break from the heat!


Dorcas told me to stay in the house...


and I snuck out!


because it was downright gorgeous outside!


We ate this guy for dinner.

AND...

My family bought a new oven!
and you may be picturing something like this:


But a girl from our church came by one morning and started putting this guy together:



In addition to a new oven, we made some new outfits too:


It's been a full couple of weeks and God is showing me what joy can be found in the simplest things, like dinner under a mango tree, lightning storms spread across the sky, and water fights doing the dishes.

Tomorrow morning, Holly and I leave for Burkina Faso to explore with Rod and Angelika. 
More adventures are ahead, which means more awesome things to be shown!

Bon Dimanche!
