Little Mamas
Last week we made another family trip out to Ciyanjano. Tim was taking 14 trees out in our vehicle so the kids rode with Kelly Huckaby and Derek Dearth. The roads out to Ciyanjano are an experience in and of themselves. Apparently, the kids had a great time riding with uncle Kelly who made the ride as bumpy as possible.
When Tim and I arrived it was heartening to see the property so active. Frederick Bwalya from our board was there conducting a week-long Veritas College training, Steve Allen and visiting pastor, Pete Williamson, were leading a day retreat for the pastors in the ACTION Pastor’s College program and some young men from the surrounding community were playing football (soccer) on the football pitch.
Immediately we arrived, Ireen’s friends beckoned her to play. Katherine Sakala and Gift Phiri are both around her age and both have brothers a little older than Tristan. Once Ireen noticed that they were carrying their brothers, she wanted to watch Tristan for me. The three “little mamas” were so adorable…as were the three little brothers…and Abigail Sakala:)
I love this picture of Ireen and Tristan. It captures how much Ireen has grown. It would have been so much fun to watch the 3 little “baby sitters” take care of their brothers. SO sweet.
