Wow! This past week flew by! It was a busy week preparing for our Super Sale, getting ready for the Prosthetics team, and working in my house! Here's a look at what went down!
We had our April monthly birthday party last Wednesday - there are a LOT of April birthdays! Axer turned 10 on April 18th!
Blessing turned 4 on April 10th!
She absolutely loved the water pouring!
Josh will turn 19 on the 25th!
Luyando and Cambree enjoying the party!
Maggie turned 1 on April 17th!
Prince will turn 7 on the 24th!
Stanley turned 5 on the 11th!
Nothing like water pouring by Uncle Blu...
Blessing (Bule) loving her lollipop!
We had a visit last week from Stella, an old lady who lives near us. She brought us sugarcane and boiled peanuts and expressed great sadness at our leaving. It was a sweet visit! She said they should vote on us leaving and she votes no!
Cambree & Baby Liz
We've had a few sleepover this past week...Cason & Phillip stayed up until 5am!
Chileleko & Joy
"Chile" is walking!
Dad mowing...or trying to. Zambian mowers don't hold up very long..
On Saturday morning, we had a meeting and came home to the kids making pancakes! With black food coloring...
Laston digging deep :)
Luyando is the silliest girl ever!
The New Day Orchard crated by Dad & Blu!
Our house is slowing emptying out as we are selling/getting rid of most of what we own. We decided to have a joint sale last Friday for all of the New Day employees. Laurie, Mom & Dad, and I all put things in the dining room, and then my kids also had an outdoor sale. We also had a clothes give-away which was a huge hit with the staff!
I sold EVERY LAST THING that I put in the sale! (most of it for 10 cents, but it's GONE!)
There are no pictures of the actual sale - it was MASS. CHAOS.
Blu did get a picture of Godfrey, who bought Caedmon's poop emoji hat!
It was a little heartbreaking watching our kids sale almost every single toy they own! However, they didn't seem to care one bit! They kept running up to me and saying, "Can I just give this one away??" It was sweet... and they did make about $40 each!
Prosthetics team is here! We are ready for a busy 2 weeks of ministry!
Wes & Laurie leave for furlough tomorrow, so we'll hold down the fort here for about 3 more months before we head back to the USA. I have several projects I want to get done in these next 2 weeks before school starts again, while Blu will be busy helping prosthetics and working on construction projects. Please pray for a precious little 5 year old girl that New Day has temporary custody of right now. We will know after 2 weeks if we will be granted full custody and she will be added to the New Day family permanently! She has had a rough few weeks and needs special prayer for adjusting!
