Steve and Casey Cretsinger Experiencing Tribal Missions in Guinea, W. Africa 
Cleaning up the crabs
Who says we don’t have delivery service here in Guinea? In the past week, we’ve had food brought right to our door – not once, but twice! This girl came around selling a huge fish that had bought caught in a nearby river. We are honestly only used to seeing little tiny fish already smoked and for sale in the marche’. Malachi wanted us to buy the fish so bad, but I think he meant more as a pet than a dinner. The next time was two ladies who came bearing a bag full of live crabs for us to buy. We had a bunch of kids over at our house hanging out and they had quite a fun time of pulling them out and getting our kids to play with them. It was pretty funny to watch everybody jumping around to keep from getting pinched. We decided to see if we could create our own Red Lobster (you can tell we’re getting desperate for restaurants around here!). We cleaned them up out back and boiled them in the kitchen while the boys looked on. It wasn’t quite the success that we had hoped for. Basically they were too small to get any real meat out of. Ephraim and Micah said they just liked looking at them and really didn’t want to try any, but Malachi was our brave one and enjoyed a few bites. I don’t think we’ll try that again, but it was another “first” experience for us over here.
