Our favorite daily reading...

The good news here is there are plenty of tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, even potatoes and a few other veggies for a price! There are greens what they call spinach here is our chard. If you can afford it the only other problem is sanitation! We've all had one weird belly thing but charcoal fixed it right up. The government comes and mandatorily sprays every house and yard with deet…and who knows what else periodically and without notice. Psalms 91 is becoming our favorite daily reading. The house here is 5 bedrooms 3 baths but very little water pressure. Part of this is used for office of course and there’s a caretakers home behind. Despite the lovely windows and beauty of the yard because of the climate they are smelly and musty. I open the windows on the cool side every chance I get for air... It is large for which I am grateful since it’s not safe to roam about I don't feel totally closed in. Oh for a good mop and some cleaning supplies and a toilet brush. This place needs some work. We enjoy the lichi fruits. People call them sheep eyes cause out of the skin that’s exactly what they look like. Oh the little green mangoes are so good you can even eat them on the unripe side like an apple which the kids in the street do all the time! I used some tiny onions and garlic cloves that Anu gave me with a hot pepper in olive with noodles and Brundee climbed up and got us a huge pile of coconuts and then Debbie my South African friend invited David and us over for dinner. Her home is huge each room with its own bath. Big beautiful grounds and a huge pool! Too bad they are leaving the country on Tuesday next. I wish my granddaughters could meet her Kelly who is 8 years old. She served us refreshments in the lounge. Then we had dinner in the dining room. (the biggest dining room I've ever seen in a home) And then I helped her with the dishes. She is such a wonderful lady! Please pray for them Gary & Debbie Antony Joshua and Kelly. I do hope we meet again. Was up again at 4:30 seems to be the new sync. Shared Charcoal with some one who was having bad pains from Mozambican food ate, who is all better today! The day before we treated someone’s throat with clove oil. Canker sore? It helped told him peroxide or salt water washes. This morning the maid, a sweet lady named Gloria came in sick coughing and achy like some of the other workers I shared some tea and had Ernesto who speaks a little English tell her for me how to make it and what it was for. Psalms 91 The chair at my desk is insufferable my legs are totally numb. Write me and check back tonight after Brundee gets home and we will try to send some pictures! Wish I could hug you right now and show you around. I am truly thankful that things aren't rougher but cannot wait till I'm overland! Out in the better air and far away from all this city. Grace until then.
