We've just finished up our third week of school. So far, it's gone very well. I'm so thankful for that grace from God. The littles and I do all our work in the pavilion. We love being out there and make a fair bit of a mess before the days are finished. I think I can safely blame William for most of the mess though. I realized that he rotates around the table, picking a new spot for each subject and leaving a trail behind. haha... I find it funny to see where my kids choose to do their school. I have some that claim the same spot day in and day out, only changing every few months. Others are migrants...they choose a new spot almost daily.
We've also been busy doing other things. Here's a smattering:
Our little friend S, is finally done her treatment for her leg. A little bit more than a year ago, we found her in the hospital by herself (her grandma had gone to the village to find money), with her leg infected to the point that her bone had rotted, broken and then burst through her skin. But now, she is healed and able to live life to the full. Here she is with her grandmother who loves her so so much!
Our Saturday night tradition continues to be to have a huge meal followed by a sermon. It's a highlight of our week.
Our church continues to grow. Last Sunday we welcomed many new members and had a lot of baptisms. We rejoice with these dear friends.
The church expands this way too...here's the newest little addition!
Talitha's cat had one little kitty a few weeks ago. So cute and so sweet!
And Benaiah's duck is finally laying eggs. He is over the moon excited about it!
The boys built a Lego ship, with a styrofoam hold and attached Timothy's EV3 to it, as well as quite a few LED lights. The local hotel let us come up one night and send it on its maiden voyage around the pool. I think now they are working on a second version.
