Land Rover on the Way,

Check out the photo, this is a Discovery Land Rover that someone donated to the ministry, what a blessing! Our church in Florida (E.C.C.C.) is paying for all shipping and customs costs, another huge blessing! It got shipped out on Wednesday and will be here early January. It is packed full (as you can see) with things for the orphanage; clothes, tools, blankets, toys, etc. plus some goodies for us and Borns.

The Land Rover will be used when Jake and Tim go out to access a child's situations, for picking up orphans, projects, taking teams out to the village, etc. This will help save our truck a bit which bares the grunt of all of this right now. It will also be great to have a vehicle at the orphanage for when they do their food shopping, pick up stuff, etc. Also for church on Sunday it will be a such a help.... right now we squeeze all 24 (plus Jake) into our car to get them to church in one trip (Taxi's work out to be too expensive). So that will help out shocks a bit that's for sure. So we just rejoice in how the Lord always provides for the needs that we have, He is good!

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!

Catching up...

This weekend was the first time in a month that we've had electric for 24 hours.... there's been a problem with the transformer here in town and we've been averaging about 6 hours a day. But praise God all seems to be fixed now.

We had all the kids over for the afternoon a couple of weeks ago, they got to bounce on the trampoline, raid our guava trees, play with toys, just have fun. It was also a goodbye to ther interns as they left on the 19th, we were sad to see them go, but really thank God for all that they got accomplised.

Saying goodbye to Jenee and Shanel, last group photo with them

We have been really blessed lately at the home. People have been coming and dropping food off. One person brought a 50Kg bag of rice, our church brought another 50Kg of rice, oil, biscuits, and then we just had a neighbour bring by 3 huge boxes of sugar. It is awesome to see Cameroonians helping Cameroonians!
