Christmas in Kebemer

Iris and Eden, two M:MM missionaries. We're in the market in Kebemer. Iris grew up in the Congo, her parents are Dutch and Swiss. Eden grew up in Senegal, her parents are in Chicago now where her dad is pastoring a church. Missionaries seem to birth missionaries.














Here we are in the Wolof village near Kebemer preparing lunch. My job was to clean the rice, meaning you sift through it with your hands and pick out all the debris. It is one of those tediously calming jobs. The young girl to my left is Iris's 17-year-old daughter Jessica.
