Getting close...

Lot's been going on. Really close to having the orphanage open, lots of digging, plastering, and carpentry's going on down there. I've been there painting the ceilings (such a fun job!) and will be working on the walls this coming week.My face is covered with white speckles of paint that Jude keeps trying to pick off :). The "Ma and Pa" are ready to move in so once their room is all finished they'll be there. We have the applications for the orphans ready and they will be handed out next week to all those who have told us of different orphans and then we'll start the background checks on them... so things are moving along nicely. Just seems like we don't have enough hours in the day sometimes to get things done! Jake's been working on the "sponsor an orphan" brochure... if you interested in one or a few for you church, let us know.

Praise God we had our first rain since Christmas... it lasted about two hours.... soooooooo incredible nice! It's just been so dusty lately that it's hard to even go for a walk as it's just all in the air, the house has been constantly dusty, no matter how often you clean it. So it should start raining more and more now. I did my vegetable garden turned over and put into mounted rows. I brought a bunch of seeds back with me from the States, especially different types of tomatoes and lettuce as you can only get plum tomatoes and one type of lettuce here, so that will be a good school project with the boys.
