Sights & Sounds

Sounds i notice -- Dogs barking, a cool breeze reaching inside the house, roosters hollering as if they need to be known, air fans saving us, children playing by their own rules outside, worship in a beautiful & unfamiliar language, horns honking. Sights I've taken in -- women in their Sunday best, rubble in the road jostling the car around, women balancing baskets of produce on their heads, roadside meat stands, a woman holding a baby as a passenger on a motorbike, and bags filled with yarn. Things I expect tomorrow -- awkward giggles when we try to communicate to those we teach, humidity (65%), heat (101), knitted baby booties met with smiles of confidence, real conversation over the Bible story we share (Daniel in the lion's den), and an adventurous ride home. ~Ter
