Today we enjoyed the honor of being received at Ega's house for an afternoon of pure African hospitality....as I told Tim, one time, years ago, after ONLY spending an hour and half with Ega, I told Ega that we were needing to leave...at which he responded, "No, not yet." At that point, I realized to really enjoy fellowship with an African brother, we need to spend about 3 hours! So today, we enjoyed a 3-hour time of eating, talking, laughing, gift-exchanging, picture-taking, and prayer with our dear friend, Ega. Every visitor who has come to see us has also enjoyed a meal at Ega's house. There's nothing like it! (those who have experienced it can make your comments here)

Yes, I recognize the "Ega Glow"!!! I know the blessing of aquireingthat glow!
These prictures are just plain fun to look at...like my dear friend, Beth, my Benin menmories are fresh...I feel like I can laugh atas well as cry, smell, and even hear in these pictures!
Tim, I wish I could hear your heart speak about all it is taking in during this journey...I am so proud of you for making the journey...blessing will abound.
I do need to chat with Randy about Tim-o and the knife...nothing thrills a grandmothers heart like seeing her grandson with a HUGE knife on his knees in a chair stabbing a slick, slimey(and yes, delicious!)piece of fruit...in a small African village miles from the nearest Dr...I could go on and on but I know enough to know you all have all ready rolled your eyes and left the room!!! (The picture was precious and we have done crazier things for a good pic...like ride a cow!!!)
I for one was absolutely thrilled to see the picture of Jonathan!!! I have missed seeing him...you may need to start taking pictures of him while he sleeps to get him up to speed on # of photos on the blog!!!
Lael is ever so precious too! What a smile for Tim in those pics! My ever so delightful Tori, I can tell is loving life with Tim on sight!!!
It is easy to tell that joy abounds with all of you!

I love seeing everyone of these pictures. I am so glad Tim is there...so thankful for his family who has supported him being gone...(Darcy- you are the best!)
