Returned from Fulani trip

Where I saw:

Two Fulani evangelists;
One District Head with his five "lieutenants", heads of villages;
The Nomadic Team under Bishop Mutums, Bishop for the Nomadic Peoples;
One retired bishop, the Rt. Rev. Wm. Diya;
One bowl of fresh (read "unpasteurized') milk;
(NB to my docs, no I did not drink --- but did put fly-littered bowl to my lips)
Three Fulani men milking their cows;
43 Fulani boys and girls playing;
one Fulani boy scared to death and crying at seeing his first white man;
16 Fulani wives and daughters sifting maize and preparing milk for the market;
pens with 50 cows, more than 50 cows, and some with many more than 50;
pastures in the distance where the men would later take their cattle to graze;
two owners, Christians, of the land who want very much to re-establish peace with the Fulani for an easier witness.
