This is Magit, but we know him affectionately as Cowboy. Not sure how he got that nickname, but he prefers that title. Even when we walked with him through the market, the other children called him Cowboy.
Cowboy is a young boy that our neighbors and fellow missionaries, Greg and Wendy Nyhus, have taken under their wing to help. We are not sure what his home life is exactly, but we sense that it is not good. Neither of his parents are living and he "lives" with an older person we think may be a grandparent. The Nyhus' have done a great job of reaching out to this orphan and showing the love of Jesus to him. We, however, got the great pleasure of buying him a pair of new shoes that he desperately needed. Cindy had noticed that he had not been wearing shoes for several days but that's not too uncommon here. Then he asked Cindy if we could buy him some new flip-flops so we took him to the market and he picked out these brand new ones.
Brand new flip-flops in the Nalerigu market -- LESS THAN $1
Showing an orphan the love of Jesus -- PRICELESS!!
