Last night Val went to Pierre’s house for dinner after picking
up more materials for the construction. Pierre and his family were the ones
living in Val’s father’s house when we first visited the village. When we first met them the two boys only had
one set of clothes and their food for the day was a small piece of cassava
root. We have been able to support them each subsequent mission trip. Last night
they only ate potatoes cooked in palm oil, and onion, and salt. That was all
they had for supper, nothing else. They didn't even have condiments to add to
their food. But they were so generous to want to share with Val. It is often
humbling to see how much those who have so little are willing to share. Val brought
them a sack of rice while visiting them, and they were very happy. Val plans to
buy them some garlic, ginger roots and other spices the next time she shops at
the market. In the meantime she will share the spices that she does have.
