Mago Kids Update

Posted on Tuesday, December 9, 2008 at 10:10

 Mom gave us a little update on the kids on Mago when she arrived here at the lake. She had quite a time getting here as we had her truck. She managed to get to Ikonda, but then tried all night to get a ride on a truck without success. In the morning she found a trucker headed to Njombe. From there she was able to get a bus to where the road turns off to the lake. It’s an hour of dirt road and Jason went and picked her up. We are glad she is here. She has been working too hard and hasn’t had much rest lately. It’s nice for all 6 of the granddaughters to have her for some play time.

When she went back to Mago that last time she asked Yona how Metu was the next day when he woke up and found out all the Masungoos had left. Yona said, “He cry and cry and cry”.

Poor kiddo!

Alex has shown an interest in spiritual things. The African team has taken a real liking to him and has given him a Bible and he has been attending church. He has been doing odd jobs about the place, too.

Mom saw Disma and he had not taken off the bandages since Mom and Steve had wrapped them. Unfortunately, on the one foot he couldn’t keep the bandage dry so all the skin around the missing toe has sloughed off. The other leg looked better. Mom re-bandaged him up and told him to make sure he had Barasa take care of it in her absence every two days. She struggles to know what to do about him. His needs are great and she is only one person and he is one of many needy people. We are still praying for something to work out for him.

Banana Leaves

I just read in Science book that the banana leaves can be as tall as a man. Is that true? If you find a banana leaf can Mr. Steve or Mr. Jon stand next to one and someone take their picture for me? We miss you. Love, Jared

OK, so we wondered the same thing about what happened to Jon and Leila.

It is suppose to be really cold here and we might get some snow--finally. You had better watch for Jared at the airport, you wouldn't want to miss him and not get the pizza.

See you soon.
Love,
