Today we drove back to Marshall for the day. We went with a group of other SIM missionaries with plans to take a boat across the river from Marshall to an island inhabited by research Chimpanzees. Through a series of circumstances we ended up not going to see the chimps, but it was still an eventful day.
We walked through the village and then back towards the car when Jamie ran into the midwife who had delivered Blessing. Blessing's mother lives in a small village across the river from Marshall, and when she went into labor in the middle of the night the midwife delivered Blessing in her house. She was very excited to see Blessing and how well she was doing. Lots of other women from the village gathered around to take a look...
Marshall is a fishing village on the ocean at the mouth of the Farmington River. With very few Liberians having access to refrigeration, the fish are placed in large drums and smoked.
And one random picture thrown in with a creative church name.

A couple fishermen putting a fresh coat of paint on their wooden boat. Notice the Beckham shirt.
Marshall might be 90 minutes from Monrovia and 15 miles down a dirt road, but that doesn't mean the men don't keep up on the latest soccer games and news.

On the way back we stopped at Caesar's beach. Here we are in front of the other vehicles in our group heading down to the water.
Before the war Caesar's Beach was home to Caesar's Beach Hotel. A impressive structure, even with no roof. It looks like it's on the market if anyone is interested... complete with 46 rooms and room for a nude beach.
