We took some photos of a few of the students that were not interviewed. Another note; Africans do not get in lines. So there was a little confusion making notes as to what order and who the pictures where of.
We then took Francois and his cute little daughter out to dinner to La complimade. (the encampment). Valerie was kind enough go and help translate. We learned a lot about him. He had some markings on his neck, for example, that Bill asked about. He explained that at 8 years old, he was taken for 40 days (yes, 40 days) in to the bush, where he was taught a secret language, dances and received tribal markings. He wants to learn more about farming, and has concerns about his crops. He wishes to have prayers for his family health, his family relations, and his jobs. His jobs give him some social status. Also, he is Catholic, so he has abandoned any other tribal/animist beliefs.
Pastor Glenn & Pastor Mudge will here on Thursday afternoon, so we will get a few more projects done before then.
Good night Felicia and Monica! I am very glad I talked to for a minute tonight! I wish it could be longer, but our phone cards are about a $1 per min, and only have 15 min on them. I love you!
