I haven't really blogged for awhile because there isn't much new that is going on. Our days are full and go by quickly. I am loving every day and just enjoying my time. With the two month (half way) mark just around the corner, I feel more of an urgency to spend my time wisely with the Lighthouse kids, the Zizers and my friends that sell from the street. I am also trying to walk more and see more of the sights that are around.
A week ago today, I went on the most amazing walk with one of the Lighthouse guys, Foday. We went to Kissy to take rice to his sister and then walked back to the main part of Freetown. It is a long walk but enjoyable. The places he showed me were amazing! A few of the pictures are posted on my bubbleshare sight. There is one of him next to the water at his favorite place to go read and do his studies and then the one of the ship yards where he told me he slept when he was on the streets. It so hard to look at this 20 year old kid and know that years ago when he was probably 13 or 15 yrs old, he was living on the streets. I am overwhelmed everytime I hear a Lighthouse kids' story of how much the Lord grieves over what they had to endure and encouraged by how much promise and hope there is for each of them!
Well, my time at the cafe has run out....I must go. I will try to blog more on Saturday but no promises. Life is very fluid here and plans change quickly.
Thank you for all your posts about the pictures. It means a lot to me that you all are checking this blog and being so supportive!! I will try to take some pics at Kroo Bay this Saturday and get them uploaded....talk about cute kids, you haven't seen anything yet!!

Hi Kaite! It is so good to hear that you are having a good time. And I am glad that you seem to be able to make friends with the "locals". (Which sometimes is hard for people.)
I pray that the Lord would give you grace as you continue to be a light in that place!
