Ir and E sometimes get to slip into the hospital with me while I am on a quick errand. They always enjoy it, work on their Hausa greetings, and see the sights. Ir usually has numerous questions for me when we leave... about kinds of illness or a particular child that caught her eye. She recently even made cards that I was instructed to bring in and deliver to 'a small boy' or 'a small girl.' Here is Ir with one of my local staff-friends, S. She's a great counselor and go-getter... of course, in a hospital with about 10 Westerners and 144 local staff, the flavor and atmosphere of our ministry is tremendously influenced by our African colleagues. And they speak Hausa perfectly! I am so grateful for our talented staff.Ir and E sometimes get to slip into the hospital with me while I am on a quick errand.
