Eating Ants in church parking lot; Commenting on Furlough preparation;
"Prepare your Children for (North) American social expectations. When we arrived stateside for our first furlough, our preschool boys had never known a church with indoor plumbing. At one of our first church stops, they headed immediately to the nearest snow bank, scandalizing arriving church-goers and mortifying their parents. A missionary friend tells of a church nursery worker frantically calling her to deal with her two small children. She found them on the church playground; carefully picking ants out of an ant-pile and popping them into their mouth. Raised in Africa, they were simply enjoying a snack-and puzzled at the lack of competition. "
