About Me

Some Pictures

I was just writing to a friend that somehow, being shaken up by our new surroundings, scripture is easier to read, and it is much easier to get engrossed in it.  "Whatever things are written in the past were written for our learning so that through endurance and the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope." Romans 15:4.

Nyles and Anne Reimer - they lived in Gambella from 1955 to 1972.  They are in the final stages of translation of the Bible into Annuak.

  3. Dear Eliza,
    I am SO excited to hear that you are teaching the little ones! They are really blessed to have such a sweet girl as their teacher! We really miss you at Meriwether and can't wait to hear all about your adventure when you return to school in May. Tomorrow I am going to show my class your photos and share your news with your friends here.

    Sending you lots of love,
    Ms. Wetmore-Simpson
    xoxo
