A Quilt and a Bible

The additional three people from Abilene are eating with us and all the spaces are filled. I can’t imagine where they put everyone when the regular HIZ group comes in September.

Our work is moving forward and the kiddos are always glad to see us when we arrive at 09:30 and crying when we leave at 12:30. They are clam again when we arrive at 14:30 (2:30 for most of you) and crying when we leave at 16:30. I hope that is just that they are sad to see us go.

Charissa picked up her quilt from Mrs. Moono this morning and it really is beautiful. She picked out the four chitanges she wanted and Mrs. Moono had it back to her in two days. It cost 200,000 Kwachi, or just over $40. As I’ve mentioned before, she uses the money to send her kids to college. She is a real gem.

David, Ian’s friend walked back to the Hamby House with us and stayed for supper. His Papa gave Ian a Tonga Bible for an early birthday present. Ian has been wanting one for awhile now and just yesterday, asked Mr. Roy where he could get one. Roy didn’t want to ruin the surprise so went ahead and gave it to Ian today.
