Back to Work Again

Back to Kembujeh to try and finish the paint job...
Highlight: Gorugi, Pierre's insanely cute younger brother, came along. Literally, I can't look at him without wanting to squeeze him or pinch his cheeks or pick him up. Look at him. Just look at him.

Gorugi used to pee his pants and cry all the time during Sunday School. Now he can walk properly he likes to chase the car whenever we go past his house. He also likes to pose for pictures. Pierre is a sweetheart, and he's not just protective of his little brother, but also of me. Whenever there are creepy men around who hit on me, like in the market the other day or like when I went out to the field today to play soccer with the kids, he told me not to talk to anyone because they were all causing trouble. He was seriously worried about my safety and acted as my bodyguard the entire time. He was helping me paint today. We are finally done with the background! Nearly halfway there yippeeee
Also, the rest of the boys who weren't helping with the painting, like Musa and Alas, were doing hard manual labor. They were sorting out some of the rocks. Or I shoudl really say that Musa was beasting the rocks, becuase in great Alas fashion, he was slacking off not doing anything. He calls it "directing." Here is evidence.

Also, a chicken fell into the well we're digging in Kembujeh. If anyone has any ideas on how to get it out...

Oh, and i forgot to mention, Nicolas had malaria and was sick for a while. He was hurling everywhere, but now that we've got some proper medicine in him, he's feeling better and he's back to his mischievous ways. He also came to help paint at Kembujeh today... but he mainly sat under the mango tree eating mangoes and cashews and posing for pictures.
