Helping orphans, reaching the lost and needy

Keeping busy!

Internet has been really bad the last week, so has the electric, it goes and comes, goes and comes... all the joys of rainy season (plus mosquitoes). Other than that, all is going great. At the orphanage the rooms are just about ready, toilets are getting tiled this week. Jake and Tim went out to a village today to see some orphans… we should know by Friday if we are going to receive them or not, very exciting, our first kids!


Then the team from our home church in Florida will be here next Friday... Jake and Tim leave on Monday for Yaoundé as they still need to do some set up for buses, hand the WON paperwork into an office down there, go to the American Embassy to get Jude's social security number sorted out, do a bit of shopping (cheese!) and then pick the team up. I'll be home alone with the boys for a week getting as much homeschooling in as possible so we can have two weeks off while the team is here, as well as making sure all the last minute things are set up for the team. Can't wait!


As requested here is a picture of Patrick and Anna the Pa and Ma of the Children's Home. They moved in last month and have been such a blessing! They are amazingly hard workers, keeping everything spic and span and always have a smile on their faces. We really praise the Lord for them!


FYI, Jude Said "Daddy" for the first time tonight when Jake walked in the door, soooo cute!
