Helping orphans, reaching the lost and needy

The rain is on its way!

We had our first rain this week. It hasn't rained since November so it was very welcome. Granted, it was only a few drops, but it was still a blessing. The boys went crazy running around in the garden, hoping it was going to pour. You can see on our dusty grill how little precipitation it really was. But it has rained gently in the night a couple of times since, so the dust is down, praise the Lord! I also don't have to water my garden constantly, phew! 


See what my wonderful husband found at a second hand shop in town... it is a heavy duty meat slicer! We really are becoming quite the butchers, with our industrial meat grinder and pig processing shenanigans. This slicer is a huge blessing though, as you can only buy ham in 5KG chunks here, so obviously we never buy it. But now we can, we'll just slice it, put it into pound packages and freeze; life just became a little bit easier. And yes, I am in my PJ's. Jake came back late after bible school with it so we had to clean it all up and try it out. We slaughter a pig next week so maybe we will slice some belly bacon.
