My two front teeth...etc.

Yest that's right Toby has lost his two front teeth. And just like you would expect he speaks with quite teh lisp. He is really enjoying all the comments about his gap, goal, pass thru you name it people have come up with some fun comments. The other picture is of some of "our kids" roaming the forest where we are clearing for our house. Today we had the pleasure of announcing in church the intentions of our family father "Uncle Mulu" to marry one of the other staff members later this year. The process for getting married around here would certainly be foreign to most westerners. It is not arranged, but the process first begins with getting permission from Uncle Jonnes to even consider the young lady. Then after much counseling and separate meetings the lady would be told of the mans intentions. Dating is highly discouraged and not allowed amongst staff members. But it really works to help people walk in integrity and purity. It also protects against heart ache and disease prevention. So yesterday we went shopping for the ingredients for supper for 35 people, 2 stalks of matoke, 18 pounds of rice, 7 1/2 pounds of meet, tomatoes, onions and cooking oil. A real feast for our kids, but they are excited and wanting to celebrate with them. ***Let me edit this. The number of people we had there for supper was 51...Wow we are a large family. That is 24 children living in David family and then the other extended family 2, old boys and the staff families that work there. It was good. We sang, shared some encoragement, ate cake before dinner and then of course had the feast. Good night
