Tonight Jim and I are attending the biggest event of the year at the U.S. Embassy.  This is their annual Independence Day celebration.  The event is for the diplomatic corps.  All ambassadors, government big wigs, and tribal chiefs will be there.  And little old us.  We are the only missionaries on the permanent list.  It's a miracle that we ever get invited, but to be on the permanent list is a high, high honor.  The food is fantastic, the entertainment top flight, and the guests cultured and lovely.  Soon it will be time to get all dressed up and head off to the embassy.  We are honored to be in attendance.
