Elijah’s Voice
We’ve been waiting hours in the visa office. Watching people come and go. And then, a big family, speaking English comes in!
Elijah wastes no time making friends. As Eric and I head to the cubicle for our turn, Elijah and his sisters are busy getting to know this new missionary family fresh off the plane from the States.
“Don’t touch my head….No, it’s not red, or black. It’s green.”
The missionary mom turns her head and looks quizically at Madeline.
“He was bit by a spider, or something, before we left the jungle” Madeline explains.
“Mmmm-hmmm” is the reponse.
It’s just a guess, but I doubt we will be getting together with them for dinner any time soon.
