You may recognize Gibby from a previous blog post. He not only teaches Kiriol to the more recent foreign missionaries here, but he also teaches at Catel’s school, and leads a mission outreach to a neighboring village. Gibby and his wife Binta (BEEN-tah), who is a very dear friend of mine, and their little herd of kids live with 3 of Gibby’s brothers and Gibby’s parents. The Mane compound is usually filled with joy, crazyiness, and some dancing to worship songs.
Here is that lovely wife of his.
This is my little friend Sana (which means “wave”… as in “wave Hallelujah” in Kiriol). He’s Gibby and Binta’s youngest.
Here are some of the kids in their compound. They were great "little helpers" on the day that we were measuring out the barn foundation.
They live in this compound right here.
Gibby will dig out the foundation tomorrow, and is very excited to get started! He is getting another guy from our church who is a bricklayer to help him build the barn. What an example of the body of Christ!
This is what Gibby's barn looks like right now:

Thank you to everyone for their support in the pig project. Excitement on this side of the ocean is building, and we are super anxious to get some pigs!
