Couples Dinner in Kahinda

In July the church in Oussouye started planning a couples dinner.  "Couples" applies to me also, even though I am single.  Not sure how but it does.  There are several women in the church who's husbands are not Christians.  So the dinner is a time for everyone to hang out.  This month the dinner was in Kahinda at Gerard Sambou's house.  This was so awesome.  And so Jola!!!  We sat under the mango trees on benches and mats, enjoying the breeze and the shade.  We shared a Bible study in the shade of the trees.  Everyone contributed to the discussion.

For dinner we were served fish fried and marinated.  The fish had been caught that morning by Gerard's brother.  Rice for dinner from Gerard's rice fields.  And a chicken from his yard on top.  Finally manioc or cassava boiled and cut into chunks for dessert.  I was so full after the huge and wonderful dinner.

We walked home in the rain, dodging puddles and lightning.  Seriously an amazing night of fellowship!!!
