This is Hawaou, one of my Fulani friends; she is the one friend most likely to notice if I am getting NICE and FAT, using my ankles as an indicator. \u00a0She freely comments on it, truly believing it is a good thing! She’s giggling right now, probably because of my chubby ankles! \u00a0(o;<\/p>\n

A’i Gaawi is probably my closest Fulani friend, the one who makes me laugh and cry so easily. \u00a0She lives a long way away now, up near our Jesus following Fulani friends, 2 days’ travel from our home. \u00a0I don’t get to see her very often, but she was just here because of a death in the family. \u00a0We had some good visits, but she has since returned to the north. \u00a0Please pray that she will understand how very much God loves her!<\/p>\n
