Together Again

It has been a busy two months! At the end of April our two older children Joshua and Adriena arrived, as well as Aleesha, a friend of Adriena. Having the whole family together again was wonderful, I found being away from them one of the more difficult parts of moving here. We spent the first week they were here at Grace settling in and meeting all the kids. We also had another Feeding program with Sister Josephine. Thank you once again to family and friends who donated to this worthy cause. The families are so grateful for the help with providing food to their children, and it is humbling to be able to serve them in this way.

The following week we headed to Livingstone. Victoria Falls is STUNNING. There is approx. 500 million litres of water per minute flowing over the falls. You are soaked almost immediately when you get close to the falls. It is such an amazing sight to experience!! The rest of the week we spent exploring the area. One of the days we went to Botswana for a day Safari. When we entered the park some of the first animals we saw were lions relaxing in the shade of the trees! From there we saw giraffe, elephant, hippo, many impala and kudu and water buffalo and so much more. There is something so incredible about seeing the wildlife in their own habitat, wandering around free.

Back at Grace we have been keeping busy with different projects and other fun things. Joshua painted a bible verse for me in the youth center which I am so glad for as I have zero artistic abilities. We have been playing a lot of games and taking many walks to the farm with the kids from Grace as well as getting in as much baby snuggles as possible. Aleesha has been teaching math and english to the grade one class and Adriena helps out in the preschool three mornings a week. Adriena also helps me with whatever I am doing here as well which has been great. We are moving my supply room to another room so more hands definitely makes the job easier!

On the construction side of things, the shop is coming to completion, a new covered parking area is well under way, shelves are being dismantled and being rebuilt for the new supply rooms and various other jobs on the go. We have just over a month left of our time here and it is flying by. Please continue to pray for us as our time comes to a close. We are tying up loose ends, and soaking up our time with the people here.
