Welcome to our Little Island

I can't believe how beautiful it is here. I accidentally deleted some of my pictures, but here's one that survived the cut. This is just a glimpse of the world outside our fence. There are neon green rice fields all around with giant mango trees standing guard in the center; coconut trees bowing in the breeze, the most colorful and billowing clouds glowing brilliant colors in the sunrise each morning and the sunset each evening.
We have been welcomed warmly by new friends and many, many curious passer-bys. FEW white faces have appeared here, and we are an anomally. After nearly 3 years here our team mates say they still get stared at.
But we are resting easily in the palm of our Good Lord. Yes, there are difficulties. With water, with edible food (only some of that blame rests on me the cook), power cuts, mosquitoes, etc. But beyond all that we see a people waiting for Freedom. For Truth. For Love. And we so take another deep breath, survey the beauty around us, thank the Lord for all His many, many blessings, and we seek to be Light. Pray we are Light.
