Ok My fav's are:
1. You and the kid crying- that is too funny!
2. The two local boys eating chipatis. That kid looks like he doesnt want to be messed with!
3. Please tell me those ants dont bite!!!
4. Last and least the one family at a time... because its so true!

Un-real pics, Ben!! Seeing all of this makes me remember why I'm a pastor. It is not for programs and committee meetings, but to see God transform lives using peoples' good hearts.

Beautiful.
