November 1
For Church we headed off to the east end of Freetown. We joined the former head of the Sierra Leone branch of our mission, at his church, to worship God. My dad preached and my mom gave a little lesson. Us Wiebes sang a couple of songs for the church and then Stephanie and I as well as Kevin and Toni were called up onto the stage by a couple of Sierra Leonean pastors. We were asked a number of questions as part of a marriage panel. Our responses garnered considerable laughter and clapping from our audience. It seems women and men are the same in every culture and experience the same marriage issues. The women particularly liked (they stood up, clapped, and cheered) when my sister-in-law Toni talked about how my brother Kevin started to help with house work because he realised the amount of work she was doing.
Back at our hotel we relaxed a bit before we received a couple of guests. Samuel, who used to do house and yard work for us, and Ju Ju, who was like a big brother to me when I was a small child and living in the town of Bo (the whole village would look out for me and make sure I didn’t stray too far from home).
