March 17th-19th: Wednesday-Friday
Wednesday I did school with the Wrights after last weeks break. Everything went well. Later that afternoon I went over to the clinic and visited JB’s new baby. Joyce seemed to be doing pretty well and the baby seemed healthy. He is so little. I have already remarked on the odd custom of completely wrapping the babies in huge blankets with many layers and little knit caps and stuff until the age of about two when they go to the other extreme and just go naked or at most a shirt. One thing I didn’t know about though is how the mother will take blue band and smear the baby with it. Joyce says it helps keep the skin soft. ok.
while I was there Rachel, Maria, Josh visited along with a visitor, Josiah, who is a Geneva student studying in Rome. We stayed and talked for a bit. Josiah is an interesting guy; the next night at Stella’s dinner I got a chance to talk to him a bit more. he is in the army and has toured Iraq.
Thursday night we had a celebration dinner for Stella since she was married a few months ago. Some of the clinic ladies came and prepared the meal and all the clinic staff was invited. it was really good food. Chicken, pocho, cabbage, soup and tomatoes. for dessert all the missionaries came over as well. It was a really fun night.
Friday Jim and I made fish tacos and had the singles over including Rachel and hung out and talked for a bit afterwards.
