(Continued from the above letter)
We have 2 goats, lots of chickens, a cat named "Mixie" and a baby monkey named "Kemi". Kemi's mother was shot and eaten by hunters, so they gave her to us because she would have died without a mommy to take care of her. So now we are taking care of her. She likes to hang on to our shirts or hair and go outside and play with us.
The Baka get sick alot because it's hard to keep clean and have clean drinking water and because there are mosquitoes and bugs that carry disease.We have to take yucky pills every night so that we don't get malaria and we sleep under mosquito nets. We wear long-sleeves and pants alot, even though it's hot because there are tiny insects called moot-moots that bite and make us itchy. But, we are more used to all of it now.
We like living here alot, but we miss our Grandmoms, Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and 
friends. We are thankful for the big area that we live in and aren't confined to a small yard. We are thankful for our Baka friends and our teammates (who have 2 kids our ages). We are learning more and more about God and we are happy that we get to tell the Baka what we know, so that they can know Jesus and that he loves them.

Nandry, Boaz, and Asher: Thanks for the update. Glad you are having some good experiences. Chase, Chaelee, and Chloe love to hear the stories. (So do Christina and I.)
It is amazing how much there is for you guys to be doing out there! I hope that the Baka will take to heart some of the things that you teach them and will start to become less and less sick. What an amazing hands on role you have!
