Meeting Mr. Strong

Trey and Zack McbrideJust before New Year’s Trey and I got to meet up with our friends Shane & Mitzi McBride at her parents’ in Vonore, TN. Trey got to play with Shane’s son Zack who is just a bit older than him. Zack was wearing an awesome Peanuts t-shirt that said “Mr. Strong” across it.

Mr. Strong takes a swing at Trey!We toured Mitzi’s dad’s workshop where he creates beautiful wood bowls and vases from what look like worthless chunks of lumber. Trey and Zack quickly got to work hammering and beating wooden sticks. In one of the photos it looks like Zack is about to clobber Trey, but don’t worry, no one was injured.

Pig Roast!

It’s our last day in Nalerigu and there are some festivities going on. A lot of missionaries are in town and a new volunteer team arrived. At lunch we’re having a pig roast to welcome them and tonight ground nut stew to see us off!

Here’s Trey and his soon-to-be lunch:
