Today we took the women's Bible study on the road. We want to do it at one of the ladies houses about once a month. That way we can meet the women that live near them and invite them to come to the compound on Tuesdays. Today we went to Elizabeth's house. Since we tend to draw attention to us wherever we go, it was a little chaotic. We had to compete with chickens, dogs, cows, drums and other distractions, but it's ok. TIA (This is Africa). Gabriel came with us to translate and had to shoo some guys away that were lingering. We had quite a lot of women and kids with us. Suzy gave an overview of 1 Peter. Then she prayed for the needs of the women. We had some praises to report (Dorothy reported that Amin was brought home, Mary's daughter was found and Elizabeth's stomach was better.). It's neat to see answered prayers. Suzy also announced that Sheena is leaving next week. Then Elizabeth said that Sheena and I have to stay and marry Dinka men. I just told her I was leaving that up to God. I also told her I am very expensive!
Do you remember a previous post about Achol (the first one)? She popped up at the Bible Study. It's so great to see her big smile. She unfortunately is still having trouble. She came to the clinic last week with a head injury. Apparently some boys were eating food that belonged to a baby. When Achol told them to stop, they stoned her. Fortunately her injuries were minor and she is doing well now.
What happened to Amin? Was he lost?

When Dorothy and Thon were seperated, she threatened to take him to Uganda. Thon took him to a village far away and left him with people who watched him so Dorothy couldn't take him. Needless to say, Dorothy was heartbroken. When Donato was taken home, Thon went to bring Amin back since they have reconciled. They whole family is doing well.
