introduce you to some of the people we met

This is a gecko. We were trying to get a good picture, but they like to hang around the light fixtures, so this is the best we could do. Usually they don't come close to you either. They eat ants and mosquito's though.

This is Jonna, she is a graduate student that has become a supervisor. She was a big blessing and encouragement to me. So wise and filled with the Holy Spirit.
this is one of the Helpers. I forgot her name. She came in once a week t clean the house for us. She is very sweet. They ended up hiring her after quite an ordeal. Her family was so poor that she got desperate and signed a contract to go I think it was Singapore to work over there. She would have to leave her family. The husband and children came to the mission leaders crying, begging them to help get her out of the contract and back with them. They did help her and hired her as their personal "helper", which is what they call the lady's that every family has. The helpers come in daily to clean, watch children or what ever you need. I wish I could bring one back!
Nora was another person I met, that does the laundry. She has 10 children, 5 at home, plus one older daughter and child living with her also. So we had much in common. One of the girls leaving gave her a few toys and clothes, and she was so happy because she could share something with her neighbor. Such a sweet lady.
This is Elizabeth from Switzerland and Tiffany
This is Jena

Before we left Monica took pictures of many of the students

this is Carmen, She is from Pennsylvania. She has already graduated and is now a supervisor. Always very helpful and encouraging. She was the one to teach us an IV class. She also took us on a few outings, to see the market and the black sanded beach.
this is Lois. She is very joyful. Her and Monica hit it off well. As you can see in the next picture she is a little silly. Lois was also a mac expert, so if I had computer problems she could help me.

You can see here what most of the furniture looks like. It's made of bamboo.
this is Jenny, Madia, Lois
