A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

August 7, 2010 Posted by Beate Rufft

We all know that a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are the thousand words in some photos I took.

Devotion in the Mornings or Church on Sunday

Then we have summer school

Then we have play time…

…Or we get haircuts..right Judel…

Judel…well…has his own stlye of playtime

Market Day is Wednesday

We need to go to get more pipes

Ti Luc thinks these pipes will do just fine

The people dry their rice right on the road

Mariah is buying our water

Sweeping out the new house for the future missionary couple

The pediatric area at Albert Schweitzer Hospital.

We got to see some newborns

Sometimes at night we go for a walk along the canal

Or we hire taxi’s to visit friends

Marta and Beate at her house

Singing songs for bedtime at the children’s home

Getting security ready. Hey, only ONE bullet!!!!!
