Yesterday, it was ultra sweet because we were ready to leave for church and Abuba and Lodina—who previously only sent their children with us to church—said they were going with us! Woohoo! Happy Mothers’ Day, indeed. The moms came with us to church.
But then we hiked all the way down the mountain to the church and they told us we had to turn around and go up another mountain, that we were having church on a mountaintop today, to pray for rain.
Figures, the only time Abuba and Lodina come to church…
But it was still cool. We took on the hot sun, put the kids on our back and climbed up to the little shade tree and a handful of people, singing and praying.
Pretty sweet, if you ask me.
And then, last night as I was walking all around Lopit for two hours, trying to find a nurse to take care of this kid who had cut her toe off (emergency medicine, Lopit style), it starts to drizzle and I look up and this HUGE rainbow is stretching all the way from the Three Sisters (the three peaks, kind of the Lopit trademark) across to Oliri, another big mountaintop. Really, really cool.
And now you know.
Alright, the kids are being so funny today. I have to go play with them.
