ICE CREAM IN YABUS, SUDAN!

Last week our colleagues brought our solar freezer from Kenya where it was being repaired. We hooked it up and it’s working beautifully. We couldn’t believe how thrilling it was to have a COLD cup of water.

This week we decided to try making ice cream using powdered milk since that’s all we have available. We made ½ gallon of vanilla and ½ gallon of chocolate. Then last night during our team’s game night, we served it up to everyone. What a treat!

The highlight was watching Daniel, our night guard, taste something that cold for the first time. We told him it was cold but he wasn’t ready for what he put in his mouth! He shouted and had a horrified look on his face. We all erupted into laughter and he begged us to add hot water to his! What a hoot.

Can’t believe we’re drinking cold Koolaid and eating ice cream in the bush…but it sure is great!

There were days that I would have killed for that. (not really) ;)

Why does sickness like to hang around so long???

Only a few days after returning from our trip to Kenya, Judah started spiking high fevers. We took him to our clinic here in town for blood ...
