| How'd this picture get to the top? Read below for explanation! |
So, here I go again, final, I promise on THIS trip, and yes, I DO have more pictures to share.
Peter Sieway's family is still in Atlanta, but his heart is in Liberia. He's a part= time professor here and had a college car in Ganta this weekend. I was delighted to know that we wouldn't have to return in another taxi. THAT was an experience, and yes, I'd been "warned" it would be; 6 people crammed into an unair=conditioned vehicle over very dusty roads. What's funny is that the Air Conditioned car we had today wasn't performing at its top level, and we had to at one point get out, let Peter back down the hill so he could get a better running start. The car worked better when we turned off the AC, so now you know why a shower was all I could think about when I got in.
But I haven't told you about church. Eleazar had told me I'd be sharing, which I was happy to do. What I didn't know was that my sharing was taking the time the pastor would normally have preached. Wow, the African folktale I'd prepared suddenly took on a real importance that I be able to tie it clearly with the gospel. I got lots of positive feedback, so I guess it went OK. It's always a bit more challenging when you have to speak with a translator.

| Armah, one of my students, was in Ganta for the Festival and came back with us. |
I'm still confused as to why the picture of the big truck is on the BLOG. I guess you are showing the dusty roads and why travel is long and tiring. Glad to see Aram, your student. How was the festival? I'd like to hear about that. And by the way, your 2011 African dresses are much more flattering than those moo moos you wore in earlier years. SMile. You look like you've lost even more weight. What do you eat? Lydia
