Helping orphans, reaching the lost and needy

Saturday, November 21, 2009

Well Praise God I have been feeling a lot better the last week or two, I've got my energy back, not so sick anymore. I'm just entering my second trimester so I guess that has a lot to do with it. Maybe I will be able to keep up with the laundry now :-)

So all is going well here, I'm a third of the way through Homeschooling and everyone is still enjoying it (including me). The children's home is going great, they are all doing wonderful in school, growing leaps and bounds. Below are a couple of pics from a couple of months ago that I came across, they are just too sweet.



Dorcas and Jude (couldn't get them both to smile at the same time)


BTW, Dorcas is just doing fantastic, she is running all over the place now and talking a lot (She called me Mami yesterday :). It's great to see her so happy and full of life. All the other kids really dote on her and baby Benadette as well.

Also below are a couple of pics of our chickens (I don't think I've posted pics of them before). They've just started laying in the last 2 months, well worth the wait. The eggs are just soo good and also saves us money as we use a lot of eggs (we plan on starting one at the orphanage too). The boys love going in the coop and just petting them. They are so tame everytime you open a door they litrally push through your legs to get out, no fear whatsoever. The other day we had Breakfast burritos. The tortillas and salsa were home made, the eggs were from our chickens and the sausage was from the pig we slaughtered and processed, and boy, were they good!. Jake says we're turing Armish!

Holly I would love to know what you use for a homemade salsa recipe? Marc loves salsa and we really miss that.

Dad says it is okay to turn armish but don't forget to keep praying in the spirit!! (smile)
Keep up the great work. It is wonderful to see all the kids growing and doing so well.

The chickens are lovely ... having your own hens to lay fresh eggs is the best (we have 7 ladies) and they do taste so much better than store bought. I think it is awesome you are going to start some @ the orphanage, really want to come visit there in the not too far future :)
