A Small World

 

Today a couple who have been missionaries near the Congo border since 1979, stopped by to see your village and road front.  Our church in MD has been helping to support them for years.  They also had their son and daughter-in-law with them.  Those two have been teaching some place in Namibia and were not able to renew their work permits.  They also said that they had school loans that they needed to start paying back so they are going back to the states.  I asked them where they got their undergraduate degrees.  Their answer, "St. Olaf College."  Of all the thousands of colleges and universities in the US, we have 3 volunteers from that college staying with us and doing January term service.  My niece and nephew went there, and Maria is here now.  What an amazing thing!
