Happy birthday Dad!🎂

Annslie is all the time lighting up with “Papa!” at motorcycle sightings!😊

Went to the clinic for lunch with our Sisters and Miriam. We love their lunches! This time it was roast beef curry(a little spicier), cubed pumpkin, a cooked tomato dish, with the rice, cucumber slices, and dal. Coke, Sprite, and water to drink.

After lunch Maddie and I went with Brianna and Miss Shana down the street a pc. And up a couple flights of stairs to the tailor that they use. Shana had fabric to be sewn for when she goes home. She’d brought a picture along of a dress she wanted it sewn like. This tailor is seriously talented/skilled and Miss Shana has put his expertise to the test trying all sorts of patterns out!😄 He just looked at the picture a bit, asked a few questions, and took some measurements from a dress she’d brought along. The bill was less than $5 and it would be ready in just over a week!

Next Brianna gave instructions for a handful of pcs mostly for her toddler and 1 for herself.

    Just as we stepped in the door back at the house, the power went out. So, time to do some studying…

5-6:00 we were invited to Jared’s for “Coffee” to meet our interpreter Naton who’d been out of town last week. He had another youngish fellow with him also who lives in the same house. I couldn’t wrap my tongue/brain around his name but Naton says it means love..

  Miss Shana made some Dee-Liscious fruit smoothies!! Squeezing limes, oranges,.. blending frozen pineapple, strawberries, papaya, mangoes,…and Brianna put out the full spread of cold cuts, sliced mozzarella + American, pickles, and fresh out of the oven monster cookies😊

 Naton kept us entertained with his stories.. his frightening experience out in the Big ocean by a coral island, with Blue water! He went into great detail about his guided jet ski ride that absolutely petrified him!.. the waves made it feel like this huge body of water was breathing… and he had never understood before why people would die when they would travel by “sheep” and it would be made unseaworthy by storms etc. But now he understands! He would die of fright before anything else! He couldn’t even let his feet be in the water for fear of what large creature was probably lurking right under the surface just waiting!

And then his next story was of the Hindu woman that was possessed by a spirit of one of their gods. She had supernatural strength and he told about the process of making the spirit leave her!
