There are lots of new babies in the village.\u00a0 This last trip, we met 4 new babies.\u00a0 The village leader’s wife had a baby while we were there.\u00a0 And, we were able to see her and the bundled baby when he was 5 days old.\u00a0 She kept him bundled the whole time, so we never actually saw the new little one.\u00a0 We asked his name…<\/p>\n

“I don’t know his name yet.\u00a0 He was born on March 30, and I don’t have this year’s calendar so I don’t know what his name is supposed to be.<\/em><\/p>\n

But, if I don’t like that date’s name, I’ll give him another name.\u00a0 Like my daughter.\u00a0 She was supposed to be Diana, but I do not like that name.\u00a0 So, I named her Rose.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Another of our friends brought her son over to us so that we could meet him.\u00a0 He was 2 months old by then. He was not named yet, either.\u00a0 Our friend said she would name him when he is baptized.\u00a0 A leader of the popular religion was in the village two weeks before our visit.\u00a0 I asked her why she didn’t have her son baptized then.\u00a0 She said, “He doesn’t have a name yet.”\u00a0 So, which is first – the name or the baptism?<\/p>\n

Oldest sister and youngest brother<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One thing I do know…All the babies have to be registered with the government in the town down close to the coast.\u00a0 And, they must have names by then.\u00a0 On our way back home, twin brothers asked if we could take them and their families to the town so they could register their new babies.\u00a0 One was about 5 months and the other was about 8 months.\u00a0 The twin’s little sister came along.\u00a0 It was her first trip down to the “big city.”<\/p>\n

A truck-full and poor Josiah was very sick. Between me and the little sister is the 2 year old first-born of one of the twins. The twins rode in the back of the truck on folding chairs as there was no more room in the cab. Altogether we were 12! 3 complete families and 2 little sisters "riding along."<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
