We went to the Africa inland church on yekepa with Amos Miamen today.  Bess still has a fever and was not well this morning. She cannot seem to shake a high fever. We had done a malaria rapid test before leaving monrovia that was negative. Levi was also not feeling well with a fever and stomach ache. We left the two kids with Ashley and Cozz and left for church. Please pray these fevers will pass. 

We were warmly greeted by church members and escorted to the front pews when we arrived. The Liberian women in their brightly colored Lapa dresses singing in both liberian english and the local dialect (mano) warmed our hearts. One old lady Betty was especially happy to see Paul and I.  Betty's father was the first ABC dining hall manager. Betty also took care of Paul and I when we came in 2008 for the re-opening of the college after it was closed for 19 years. Betty went home after church and baked Paul and I two loaves of bread. She took a boda boda (African motorbike taxi) to our house to deliver the bread at three this afternoon. We needed bread for breakfast and sandwiches and The Lord sent us an old friend to take care of us:)
