Some more pictures

I have really enjoyed looking back through pictures from Sierra. So many memories flood back into my mind while I look at pictures. I miss everyone there. Last night I was awoken by a phone call from someone from Sierra Leone. I was so confused when they called and I am still not sure why they called, but it is so fun to get calls from Sierra Leone.

Brima. This boy is so special. I don't know if you remember him from my stories from the year that I lived there, but Kristen and I first met him in the malnutrition clinic. He was so sick and had given up hope. We were able to watch what a little bit of love can do as he began to get better and better. He now goes to school and church. He is a thinker. He doesn't talk a lot but I can tell that he thinks a lot. He is wise beyond his 7 years. He's a great kid.
