Grandma Visits

My maternal grandma - Ma Francisca

I was so happy to bring her to visit from Oklahoma. She has been visiting from Cameroon for some months now and stayed with my aunt in Oklahoma. My grandma was always there during the early years of my life, when I was often sick too, I'm told, and so I am very close to her. She had a great time in Arkansas, although she felt that we lived in a "bush"!! It was too natural, she felt. Well, she'd been in Oklahoma city all along. But she loved sitting out in front of our house and waving to the cars that went by, while watching the ducks and geese swim to and from the pond that lies in front of our house. She'll often take long walks too along the many quiet streets that surround the area.

I'm glad she came.

Gustaff's Visit

Gustaff visited me for about a week. We had lots of fun visiting friends, chilling and watching movies, seeing the Baha'i friends, doing some direct and indirect teaching. Gustaff enjoys nature and so always loves his stay in Arkansas with all its greenery. His drum, of course, charmed everyone he met and played to, as did his radiant countenance. It is always a pleasure to see him. He was even able to lend a special touch to our cluster reflection meeting.

Gustaff playing his drum, the "Djembe". This was at the Pittmans' home. We had a contact there, Mike, who is taking Ruhi Book 1 with the Pittmans. Mike loved the music.
