| Running with our neighbors |
 |
| Neighbors braiding our hair |
This has been a busy year. Part of it is family - we have a toddler and we are working to teach three other children to respect and an adult child trying to finish high school. But another part has been travel, fish, meetings, teachings, conferences, lending a hand, harvesting moringa and planning.
During this busy year our neighborhood has continued to change. New homes are built. People have moved in and out. And sadly now we don't know everyone in the neighborhood. Our 'old' friends are still around - who we don't get to visit as often as we would like. But it is rather strange to walk through the neighborhood and not know everyone's name. Of course a two room home can have 20 people living there easily, but that didn't use to stop us!
The point of all this is that it is becoming more and more difficult to connect in ministry in our neighborhood now that we are in full swing in our ministry. We knew this day would come and talked about how our language learning was ministry, but it is sad for us to have less time to focus in this area and not to know all our neighbors.
