Drums for Christ

We occasionally have people who come to the door to ask for money or things - they know that we are missionaries and North Americans.  We have a personal policy to not give money (causes all kinds of issues) and to try to build relationships with people that are NOT based on the things that we can give them... real relationships built on love and Christ.  Many times, we have talked to people for awhile, prayed for them, and explained our "no money" decision - but we will often times give people food if we believe that there is a real need.

So yesterday, at the lunch table, the adults were having a discussion about how much people pay for things in the USA verses here, what salaries are in the USA, etc.  Moises jokingly says, "Wow! You can pay me that!"  At this, this little ears across the table from me (Sarah) perked up and she answered, "We can't give you money... but we can give you fruit.  Would you like some fruit?"  HA HA!!!  We died laughing!!!  She is listening to everything we do and say, even when it is to people outside the front gate...
