Working Days

Many skills are required if you live in the jungle, here some of the work we did today.

Whitewashing the walls

In the new office

Aaron and helpers build the front door. The next Home Depot store is a 4 days journey away.

Finished product, the effort worth while

Moat likely the best rabbit house in all of Liberia

But there is always enough time for a nice picture

Many little Helpers

When Aaron does things around the house or office he has a steady stream of followers

Liberian Living

As missionary you learn a whole lot of different things. Aaron becomes in expert in cleaning fish.

The boy brought the catch of the day

Cleaning a fish part of the job

Not for the faint of heart

Can you make out what fish it is?

The neighborhood boys got the fish eggs

And the woman waited for the fish head to take home

Hard Work

Women work very hard here in Liberia. Before cooking the rice there are several steps of cleaning and preparing it.

Pictures

Amy and I walked around the village. As I was taking a picture of a boy washing dishes, women stood behind me to see how I do it. Zooming the boy from a distance, they started to laugh, calling out to him: "she brings your teeth up in front". Poor boy, he was embarrassed and didn't smile anymore while I was around.

No more smile for me
