My Kembujeh Buddies

Here are some of the Sunday School kids from Kembujeh. Since I've been rotating with the churches, this was the first week that I've been able to go to Kembujeh... which was a good thing because Arthurue (I don't think that's teh right spelling, but that's how he spells it), who used to come and help with the painting, would chatter away to me in Mandinka and keep telling me to come to church in the most earnest of tones, like he was afraid for my soul. I couldn't find a very good picture of him, but he's the one in the stripey purple shirt in this picture I took with little Kaddy:

This is AB praying. Well, he came up and covered his face with both his hands and then mumbled something really fast and quietly (all into both his tiny little palms, of course) and then ended with a loud manly AMEN. It's only his second week coming to the Kembujeh church, but he likes it better there I think because the first week he answered the question that Sirumbai asked correctly and got a free pencil. This week he aced another questino and got a piece of bread that he later shared with me.

The weather recently has been miserable, so I expect we're going to have some heavy rainstorms pretty soon. Can't wait.
