It has been 5 years since my first trip here . There are lots of changes. The girls house is completed and fencing is built around the yard where the children live .

Morning devotions

 

Wed. morning devotions

We had our first devotion meeting this morning at 7:30am . The singing and worship was wonderful.  I was asked to pray and I was so happy to do so . My heart is overjoyed to be here . I’m blessed and happy to be here. It is going to be a great day. Looking forward to a good week and hope that all I do is for HIS GLORY.

First day jobs getting done.

Note from Sandra

Cathy arrived with no luggage and the clothes she is wearing have been bought on the street or from Germaine’s wardrobe! Watch the blog for her wardrobe.  It is humbling to have no underwear, toothbrush, hair brush or clothes BUT she is a wonderful sport about it all!  We have been generous offering all of our supplies, but some of the male stuff just doesn’t cut it!

    AT LAST… a blog!!
    Welcome everyone to our 'nother home.
    Terry – make sure you put all the tools back where they belong.
    Cathy – let me know where those Christmas decorations and lights are being hidden. I couldn't find some of the stuff in the fall.
    Dickie, Sandra, Jim and Don – please don't eat ALL the mangoes.
