Here are some other pictures of the team in action
Pastor Chris - are you reading? Well your daughter is a hero. It's just that simple. A large truck (actually a tuk tuk) came flying by the market at high rates of speed (about 10 mpg) and hit a boulder (small rock she's holding) which turned this normally static object into a speeding deadly weapon. The rock was projected right at a small baby sitting on the road (OK - so there wasn't really a baby involved at all ... but it sounds good). Anyway, the boulder (small rock) was propelled at high speed and your brave daughter ran, jumped, and took a long lunging dive over a high wall to save the sure-fatal projectile from it's intended target. Well - it was something like that. Or maybe the tuk tuk propelled the stone and it hit your daughter on the leg. : - ) She's fine - but it does make for a great story.
JAVA. What more needs to be said? This was +++ obviously +++ a very difficult picture to take since we've been working tirelessly from sun up to sun down.
We also visited the local market - what an experience that was. At the market you can buy **ANYTHING** ... hats, shoes, fish, corn, leather, and as this picture depicts - livestock. Our kids mouths dropped as they saw all of the animals in the market.
Lauraleigh's first question to me - can we take one home.
The thought of being detained by airport security flashed through my head ... and then phoning family and friends at home in NC to hear "you tried to take WHAT on the plane" ....
That's my Anna Ritchie . . . strong legs . . . soft heart. Love you girl, and praying for you and the team!
