Shea Butter...

So, last week LaVerne and I went out to T-village and learned how to make shea butter. It was a lot of work but a lot of fun!! Here are some pics from our day...

Here's LaVerne with the ground up shea nuts.

 

 

 

 

Here, LaVerne and our host our beating the ground up shea nuts and water that was added to them.

Here I am doing the same thing!!

 

 

 

 

These little girls loved Zeke & wanted to hold him, so I got a few pics of them holding him.

Our little man. He had on clothes but it got hot, so we ditched the clothes!!

 

Some more baby news...our night guard's wife had a baby last week. It was a little boy. They named him, Yacouba, which is Arnett's African name. It was such an honor for Arnett (and me too) for them to name their baby after Arnett.

Praises:

1. Language learning. We've been able to get out and understand the language!!
2. All the cultural experiences we've been having recently!!
3. Rain at the farm!!
4. Zeke is healthy as can be and getting so big!!

Prayer Requests:

1. Language!
2. More rain!
3. I know some of you get our updates and it says we're both having medical issues. We have been having some tummy issues lately. Nothing too serious but nothing too fun either! Please pray that we'll get over these issues soon!!

Also, if you'd like to receive our e-mail updates, please send an e-mail to arnetteubanks@gmail.com. Until next time...
