Out of sequence


OUT OF SEQUENCE


This is a little out of sequence and actually from Sunday the 26th of August and later in the week.
Taken after church Sunday morning it begs the question “What are they looking at?’….


The answer is:  EMMA!!!  Set up the computer to show everyone what Heidi had been hiding for so long.  They were all excited, especially the women who had children of their own. You would have loved to see their expressions and hear their laughter.

 During the week we went to the market to purchase more Awana and school supplies.  Moto-bike taxies are how people get their shopping done.  Women bring their children to market and carry everything home on a moto.
 
Even the young help support their family.   It is so awesome to see how industrious they are.  
Wish I could have captured two little ones on road from house to our neighborhood market.  Little boy about four with his two (doubt if three) year old brother in tow with left hand and carrying lunch pail with right hand walking alone down road to buy their lunch at market.
"It takes a village to raise a child." 
 
Babies go everywhere with their mothers and bond physically as well as emotionally.  Sometimes I think they must have velcro or glue them on.  Walking, riding a moto or working in the field baby stays with momma.
 
Back home in the “corner of the housetop” that I call my upper room I enjoy the afternoon rain.  I don’t know it at the time, but this same rain is destroying the road to church.  
Did I mention that i love Togo?????
