Chessells in Africa:

Saturday morning and we headed for Yei town along the bone shattering roads amidst the people, motor bikes, cars & trucks all trying to dodge the puddles and chasms in the road. What an amazing time!  Street stalls with everything from potty chairs to cows hoofs to fabric and beads. The food market was packed with all sorts of veges, many we had never seen before, "fresh fish" imported from Uganda most probably, dishes of flour, spices, peanut butter being made on the spot to mention a few.  You can pretty much get whatever you want if you are game.
Linda bought fabric for curtains in her new house and then we went to an Ethiopian restaurant for coffee and some local fare. Coffee was very strong!
Then the trip back to the compound. Oooh Aaah!
The weather has been very kind to us - a good time for us to visit.
In the afternoon we went over to the hospital to visit the new mums and babies I had seen born the day before.  What a joy!
God has blessed us with so many new experiences in such a short time as well as giving us a wonderful time with our loved ones here.  Life is harsh in this environment and the S. Sudanese are tough.  The children are just like children anywhere else who need lots of love and attention & we have been able to share this in so many ways.
Thankyou to so many people who are praying for us and the people on this compound. They are working so hard and sharing God's love in so many ways.  God is good!
