not exactly.
BUT someone DID throw little sacks of something hard at us during outreach last Thursday. Our team of 7 was standing with a few Nigerian girls when ALL OF A SUDDEN (caps cleverly added for dramatic effect) there was a stream of ...."things"... flying from the sky! and landing with a LOUD thud. One hit right at my feet and shattered.
We weren't crazy about that so we decided to keep moving further down the street but they kept aiming at us. Each bag of ammo seemed different....one seemed like old, hard bread...another was much too loud to be bread. We know it wasn't the girls they were targeting because the raining confetti followed us as we moved down the street. We ended up dodging around the corner and cutting our outreach short.
This is what the street looks like during the day. But at night there are less cars and shady transactions go down. The flying bags of bread ...aka "BOBs" ☺ were coming from a room up above or maybe from the rooftop????
We think it was probably just some kids who thought pelting people with BOBs was hilarious. But we also appreciate your prayers for our continued safety!

Once you see inside the box, you can never *not* know what's in the box again. Seeing suffering, experiencing, understanding. You are brave to look inside the box and know that you - and the lives of those you meet - will never be the same. May your box have beauty as well as sorrow.
