We're not quite sure WHAT is in the water in Musoma, but it seems that something more potent than even bilharzia (nasty little thing that causes disease) in the water around Musoma! The last five months have had a few events occurring that seem like more than just coincidence...
It all began in April with a frenzy of activity.
The Hill family, missionaries in Musoma, gave birth to a little boy, Cooper. Not too long afterwards, Rachel, another Musoma missionary, got engaged! Her fiance is from Egypt, and here's a great shot of them in his backyard. Well, maybe just in his country...
A week or two later, another Musoma missionary family, the Nicholls, gave birth to a little boy, Elliot.
After a brief reprieve from activity, in July things in the water came into play again (although that would mean it had lingered in her system for a while, since she was in Canada at the time). Holly, a Musoma missionary, got engaged! His name is Jeff, and he'll be joining her in Musoma next year. Here's a picture of them just after he popped the question.
In September things have really gotten a bit crazy! First a Musoma missionary family, the Kamphuis', gave birth to a little boy, Aron. A couple weeks later, another Musoma missionary family, the Turners, gave birth to a (you guessed it!) little boy, Ezrah. Shortly after Ezrah's birth, there was another engagement, this time with Ellen and Johnny, both of them Musoma missionaries. This picture shows the happy couple (quite a few months before their engagement, however):
There is one more missionary family in the Musoma area expecting a baby, the Archers. If they have a boy, he's sure going to have a lot of little buddies his age to play boy games with, and if it's a girl, she'll have her pick of the crop. Also, there are still several single missionaries in Musoma, too, and you never know, maybe their turn for engagement is coming up soon... I think if they keep drinking the water (after filtering it!) or breathing the air, it just might happen!
