Wedding Party! Friday July 15

They just got back from a wedding celebration in which they were honored guests-Phillipo was best man & Atu was the Matron of Honor. Thurs-Rick was 25 miles out of Njombe at a farming operation headed by a catholic priest w/horses,cows,pigs-lots of good info for future pig seminars. Speaking of pigs-Thurs was "pork butchering day" & they were treated to a meal of pork at Phillipo/Atu's. Lunch w/Neema was mchuzi & rice. Neema looks good but is lifelong limited now from her burns-she can walk to/from church (which wears her out/pain) & do activities around the house but no longer is able to farm/carry much or lift much. Thurs they spent at the Bible College & Secondary School where Form 1-6 sang. The adults went w/the headmasters while the teenagers, Phillipo & Alissia took April w/them. Sounds like she is getting along good w/many of the girls. The Kindergarten class along w/the women have been doing Swahili/English "Itsy Bitsy Spider" (nouns in Swahili, the rest in English). Last nite was warm weather so it was bath nite for them (they are living like luxury w/only 4 of them to share a 5 gal bucket-they  each got 1-1/4 gal of hot water!) The autoclave & layettes were delivered to the clinic & they were SURPRISED & ELATED! Beatrice arrived from Dar today beaming with her granted Visa to come to Harlan
