Our cook, Sylvie, who has been with us the whole time we’ve been in CAR so far, almost 12 years now, has made it possible for us both to work more than full-time. We are so thankful for her care for us in this mission where there are no grocery stores or restaurants and where everything has to be made from scratch. She just had her babies, that we all have been waiting anxiously for, twins, but only one survived, a lovely little boy. So we are joyful and sad all at the same time.
Here are the before and after photos, smile:
Sylvie will have 3 months’ maternity leave and this smiley guy, Jean Baptiste (John the Baptist), will help us out ’til Aug. 22nd. He’s available because he usually works as a cook full time for our colleagues, the Westers, and they are in the states on home assignment right now. They are due back to Gamboula after their Aug. 20th arrival to Yaounde, so how’s that for perfect timing?
