Before coming here, Cindy had heard a story about a man who came here on a mission trip and was stung by a scorpion so she had really panicked about the scorpions. Then, when we were talking with some missionary friends who spent 10-15 years in Ghana, they said we didn’t need to worry about the scorpions it was the SNAKES we should worry about. Yes -- KING COBRAS -- but the missionaries here say don’t worry, they’ve not even seen any snakes yet since they returned here from furlough 2 weeks ago!! YET?? That’s not too comforting!!
Last night we were hearing this constant chirping noise outside. At first, I thought it was some sort of alarm because it was so consistent and regular. I went outside and realized it was coming from the trees. I then assumed it must be frogs chirping because Evan said he had seen some really big frogs. Later we found out that the noise was not frogs but BATS! I was hoping Cindy would not find out but it was too late. She didn’t freak completely out. In fact, she was pretty calm. She was equally as calm when we found a gecko in our living room -- and stayed calm even when it went under our couch and we never could find it. No really -- it’s still loose somewhere in our house and she’s fine. I guess she’s thinking, “Well, at least it’s not a scorpion or cobra!”
Thank you, God, for your peace that passes all understanding!
