Our House Part 2

And here is more of a straight-on view. The porch is screened in and potentially very useful, though we often prefer the front door. Our vegetable garden is behind the house, but you can see even the front has plenty of trees and vegetation... thanks to our gardener's daily watering from well water. We are thankful to be safely back here after a very nice vacation with family in August.

I can't believe I missed these pictures earlier. What was I doing in August?

Snippets

Some recent glimpses of our life here. The local trader has many nicknacks that are mostly uninteresting, but he looks out for old coins for me.  This Napoleon III French Emperor coin was from 1855.  Makes one wonder how it made it all this way here.  Gave me a great opportunity to lecture my kids on a fascinating period of history, and give them a 'piece' of it (No French pun intended). Here are some photos from our most recent 4 day seminar.  This was actually the 7th step of the 'Timothy Training' and those who had been through the various steps were rewarded with a recently published Hausa Bible commentary.  After the Bible, there are relatively few rich theological resources readily available in Hausa, so we were glad to be able to distribute these. We recently inducted a new PAACS (Pan African Association of Christian Surgeons) resident into our program.  While I am not one of the faculty for this program, I do appreciate these do...
