A couple of interesting photos

Today Avril and I spent a long morning together in the ministry conducting her series of ‘Tuesday’ bible studies in a distant area of our territory called Engo Sheraton.

On our way to the territory, we saw a touching site, which we would like to share with you our loyal readership.Photo_042809_001There was a tiny kitten, dozing gently at the breast of a young dog. The kitten woke up and stayed with her larger friend, a very ordinary ferral dog of the kind often seen round here. They were obviously very close friends!

Later in the day, a student of Avril’s convinced her to accept a kind gift: a live hen. The student tied the hen’s legs together and dropped her into a plastic bag, with a hole for her head. Here she is!
