David


This is David. He’s our guard. He’s super funny, he likes to tease, he’s fun to tease, he puts banana on his face to take care of his scars or something, and he’s afraid of dogs. We got him a bow and arrow so that he can shoot people who trespass onto our property without giving away his position (in his words, "the fire from the gun will give away my position, and I can kill only one man). I don't really think that he has killed anyone. However, when he was talking to one of our country directors, he said that there was a kind of bow and arrow that is laced with witchcraft so that you cannot miss if you shoot it. "But we will not get that one. It is too expensive." TIA (This Is Africa)

Just now he walked by singing “it’s too late to apologize. It’s too late.” I would say that we are a bad influence on him, but western music is everywhere here, and I actually think that we're a good influence for him. He’s already really nice to everyone but we also have the missionaries coming over to teach him once a week. Pretty much, he’s awesome and we are extremely lucky to have him.
