Linda came home from the hospital the night before and we were so happy! She is such an incredible, upbeat force of life. Wendell is the same. They are a great, powerhouse couple and hardly missed a beat despite the wild and crazy hospital stay and not feeling too great. The doctor ordered rest. Linda tried, but was not completely successful on the restful obedience.
Meanwhile, Mma Williams (said, Ma Williams -- I LOVED it when people called me Ma or Mama -- so sweet!) suggested we go on a couple of home visits. Ridah went with us to introduce us and interpret. Most folks in Manyana speak English, but were sometimes more comfortable speaking Setswana. We never made it past Dumela (hello) ourselves, so were sympathetic to the mono-lingual plight. These Batswana are amazingly kind and open to new friendships. We will never forget them!
