Sunday afternoon June 5th we received a text from our driver, Sunday. Sunday was the proud father of a new baby girl! He proudly showed us pictures when returning to work later that week, but was eagerly awaiting the Naming Ceremony set for Sunday June 12th before choosing a name for his baby girl. The naming ceremony is a very big deal here with all the relatives and friends attending and even includes a baptism at the church. So to our surprise, Sunday and his wife have named their daughter: Esidena Jully Ujie. Esidena is her native name and Jully is her Christian name. Sunday explained, “You have been so good to my family and when you are gone, I would like to remember you always.” I have never been so honored.
