Hey everyone,

Jamie went to the house of one of the workers at the camp on wednesday when i went into town. She made Mandazis which are like little african donuts minus the holes and less sugar. The lady who is holding Annabelle in the picture is Mama Zaina. We were inside her house with dirt walls and floor but her house is a little fancier because it has a tin roof as opposed to the grass ones. The thing she is cooking over is called a jiko and it is a little coal stove. Junio helped cook the mandazi's by rolling out the dough and cutting it into triangles. We took them back to share with everyone after dinner for dessert and he was so proud of himself telling everyone that he made them.
Annabelle has started walking all the time now although she reverts back to crawling on uneven ground. She is so proud of herself. Junio and his friends, Brennan and Luke caught a lizard the other day and put him in a jar and spent the day catching bugs for him to eat. We let him go at night though!
We have been trying to cram all that we can into learning Swahili since we only have a week left of class. Pray that we will keep going with it and won't get discouraged!!

Good to "see" you guys. Natalie and Sarah sent a birthday letter to Junio with paintings but I am afraid that we missed you at the campground. Sorry! We miss you and are praying for you.
Love,
The Alsum Family
Hello Lang Family! It was wonderful to see the pictures and read all the updates! I hope you are being blessed beyond measure in this journey of serving Him! ALl is well in the Erickson home. We loved getting b-day cards all the way from Africa! Gavin is away at camp this week at Covenant Heights(first time) and G & K are busy being busy teenagers! They had an incredible time on their misssion trip to Mexico. Ron is oh so close to getting a new job with a company run by two VERY strong believers. He will know by the end of the month. I'm trying to soak up as much summer as I can! The latest candidate for the youth pastor will be back the end of the month with his family so that he can preach to the congregation. I will keep you posted. Give JJJJJJJunio a high5 for me and a big smoochie to Annabelle. We are also sending a big hug and words of encouragement to Ma & Pa Lang! In Him, Ericksons'
