Peanuts

Have you ever seen peanuts like this before?  Our Guinean friends are harvesting their crops including peanuts right now.  Last week Pete got to go work in a friends field one morning and returned with this bunch of peanuts.  I'm so often reminded of how much physical work the Guineans do to make a living.  "By the sweat of your brow," comes to mind.  We westerners often take so much for granted.  Pray for the Guineans we know that they'll have an interest in the Gospel and that there will be a Spiritual harvest.
 
We're doing pretty well.  Last weekend we had a but going around, Pete had a bad migraine and fever and Faith had a 24 hours stomach bug.  Our kids and the dorm kids have had colds but overall we've been healthy.
 
Rainy season is winding down and we're getting some really nice rainy nights.  I'll certainly miss them when dry season is here.  It's hard to believe that Ian is 10 months old.  It doesn't seem possible.  He is a happy fun little guy.  He pushed up and stood briefly on his own today.  He's eating all sorts of things and loves to have fun.  The Guineans love him, especially because he's so chubby.  Last weekend some of our coworkers from a few hours away were in the guesthouse for the weekend.  Their kids are about the same ages as Aidan and Eli and they had a great time together.  Daniel helped Aidan make a bow and arrow.
 
Continue to pray to pray for Guinea as things are politically tense.
