This Sabbath afternoon we went to Benzaki's house. They are celebrating their wedding anniversary. I was asked to give a little speech and we had a meal together. There were many guests especially from the hospital, mostly couples. In fact, Enock refused the entrance to guests who came alone (without their spouse)!

I was asked to give the morning devotional at Béré's Adventist  Hospital this morning. I like to do it because it is an opportunity to give our specific message to non Adventists people. Most staff are Adventists but not all.  The patients also are not Adventists and many come to listen to the devotional.

Today we went to the market to get some fruits and vegetables. We take the motorbike (it takes 5 minutes) to go there. On the market, local people are selling their products.

Here on the picture is a street scene in Béré

Today we went to Enock Benzaki's house. They had ask Lindie to do some massage for Eunice and then 2 other ladies showed up and asked for massage too. We see them both on the picture below.

Another picture of the flood around Béré, this time taken from Gary's plane.

There is flooding all around Béré! Local people have never seen so much rain, so much water, so much flooding in the last 50 years.

Here Jonathan from the USA is on the picture.

We were awakened this morning at 1:30 AM by Marcie's voice: "We lost Minnie, we lost Minnie".
Wow! What an awakening! Minnie died! She was a missionary from the Philippines, a friend of us. She had come to our wedding in Manila.
She had malaria since last week, we visited her Friday morning and she went into coma around noon on Friday.
Olen, Gary and all the missionary nurses did all they could to save her but she died.
