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.
There 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!
Now our hen, whose name is Mnomno, an adjective in Swahili meaning ‘very fine indeed’ and used particularly in reference to chickens, is running around our little compound, clucking and eating bread and pooing. She’s quite loveable, really.
