Welcome Home Suzy and Kids



Today Suzy and the kids returned to Tonj. After being away for two months we are really happy to have them here. Suzy got a lot of work done in Nairobi. She got the truck ready to go and it hopefully will be leaving in a few weeks. In addition to Suzy and the kids, we received Joe and Nancy (back to teach the pastors), a new pharmacist and Garrett, a visitor from the US. He will be helping in the clinic for three weeks. The Kuj's also received an addition to their family. Everyone crowded around to take a look at the sixth Kuj:



It's Oochie, the Poochie! The kids named it Honey and Suzy asked her neighbor in Nairobi, who is from Zimbabwe, how to say honey in her language. When she said "Oochie" Suzy knew that was perfect. One guy at the airstrip grabbed Oochie by the face and spit on her. It's supposedly a blessing!







Oochie is a really sweet dog and will fit in well here. She's also really funny. Earlier she was following me to the dining room and suddenly stopped. She saw a goat and just stared at it. Then she turned around and booked it back to Suzy who was at her house. She ran back to her mama for protection. It was so cute!
