May 16 - the beginning of a "dream come true" trip for Jim and I. We have wanted to visit Madagascar ("the Island at the End of the World") for many years. We enjoyed visiting the Lemur Park - saw 9 different species. The lemurs are the little furry critters in the tree - a Malagasy original.
Jim taught Advanced Faculty Education Lessons for Bible school instructors. He had a wonderful time with these men . . . while celebrating his 48th birthday in Madagascar. I was so very happy he was able to make this trip with me.
I was blessed to share (and speak at) the celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Ladies Ministry in UPCI of Madagascar. Made some great new friends too - past and present ladies presidents posed with me in front of the memorial built by the church.
Enjoyed the scenery of the capital city - very different from West Africa. It looked like Old Italy - at least the pictures I have seen. Cobblestone streets made you think of another time and a different generation.
Had great fun shopping with Richae (and Jared too). They were very helpful finding things for folks back home in Ghana. (More capital scenery in the background behind our favorite shop.)
Got to be with my young friend, and long ago camp choir member - Paula (Clenney) Richardson. Made me feel old . . . but VERY BLESSED . . . to see her in missionary action in Madagascar.
"Delight thyself also in the Lord, and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart." AMEN!
