Ir is at the fun stage where she comes up with surprising connections and ideas. Recently she started praying that "God would give us a car." It surprised us because it's not something that T and I perceive as a need. We have ready access to a compound car if we need it, and our most frequent foray out to church is only a 15 min walk away. But it is hot, and usually the kids are tired on the way home. Mom often has to carry both kids(as in this picture), particularly when we're on the only paved road in town with trucks and motorcycles occasionally buzzing past.
Shepherding our kids through Hausa church is one of the challenges we share with the other families. The service has many kids floating in and out, along with a Sunday School of sorts, and it is usually about two hours long. After an hour, when Ir and E start melting down, Mom takes them home - as pictured, while I stay for the rest.
