Jerusalem Gates, life in the Dump, We Press On
Evening of July 8, 2009 After a good brunch, a long nap, and a warm shower, I felt more human again! So many blessings, we take for granted. I notice little improvements each year -- for example, this year, we have a water heater for our showers. No more cold showers or bucket-baths! YAAAY!!!! There seems to be a lot more construction going on, also. We took a little walk when the rain let up. Our team and Rev. James walked over to Jerusalem Gates Academy. While school had already been dismissed for the day, we still managed to talk with Headmaster Julius and his wife Salome. What a welcome we received from them! We will go back there tomorrow morning and visit with the students, and later in the week we have a program planned for the parents and kids together. Dinner was marvelous! Knowing how much Dave loves fufu & goat --that’s what they prepared! I was really proud of Becky -- she ate that fufu like a pro! I’ve tried it before, and its just not my cup of tea, er…fufu...
