I just need to testify  that I am running for HIM again with no problems with my joints!  Thank you for your prayers and please continue them, we have one more team of 10 arriving the beginning of August.  We had one team delay their visit until December this year.
  I was so excited to see my family arrive on the 2nd of July for a 9 day stay.  We visited both Children's homes, an Island on Lake Karbia, had 4 puppet shows with Creative Ministries, visited  Livingstone and Botswana.  It was an action packed trip I will keep in my heart forever. 
When might you come for a visit?
My first picture is of my family practicing for their first show for the community, it was a holiday here so the children where out of school but the adults came and one person gave his heart to Jesus from the small crowd!

Sometimes I get so behind I just put things in a closet and close the door for another time....  When they ask how they could help me I decided I would open the door and ask for their help organizing things in two different closets.  What a blessing they gave me of clothes organized and socks handed out along with some special items we found in the closet...  Thanks for your love family  on this special project.

Lights in the Activity Center are always a problem to change out, so thankful the next group will be able to see how to eat at night :)

Loving on our babies !

They did a special show for the House of Faith kids before bed so we could depart early the next morning for the valley.  The children loved it!

Prayer time for the children

Because we are not set up at House of Hope yet with the activities /guest building we had to travel with more items than planned.  Neil did not know it but had an interesting ride ahead of him to the valley.

The team did  their third  show at Ngombe School near House of Hope.  What  a fun time it was !  Many received Christ into their hearts...

Their last show was for our House of Hope kids in the new Activities building.  It is not finished but usable...  We stayed there in the team rooms. Lights and bathrooms worked :)

I decided to take them on a Lake Karbia adventure.  I was told it would take us about 1 1/2 hours to get to the Island and then about an hour to prepare food for our buffet lunch.  It turned out to be an all day adventure arriving back to the mainland  just before dark but a fun restful day with a good meal together. The Island views were so beautiful. Making memories.

All teams coming for a visit  here when their  ministry  time is finished we head to Livingstone to see the Victoria Falls and shop the Curio's market s.  We went to church and had Afternoon tea at the Royal Livingstone.  It was truly an awesome week together.

Remember if you come and visit you also could be seeing this awesome Game Park in Botswana. This is just a few of the animals we saw on the river cruise  and on the land drive.

Our new Bath house for teams at House of Faith is moving right  along.  When our August team is here Michael will have some time to oversee the plumbing and setting up the water.  This is going to be a blessing.

Our Creative Ministries team left a lot of adult clothes.  We organized for all 16 of our moms, washers and fill in moms to receive a pile of clothing.  They were so very excited and blessed.  Thanks Team

House of Faith's sweet potatoes should be ready for digging soon.  Looking forward to seeing what is under the dirt :)  Thanks Melinda for all your hard work on the drain.
Picture
Well I was not there when the Sweet Potatoes were dug up but I got  a picture before they divided them up to share at each house.  We decided from the harvest we planted to late and will plant the whole garden this coming rainy season in January.

Our schedule has been busy the last couple of months and we delayed our Grade 7 students Graduation trip until July.  We had a wonderful day of excitement seeing animals in the game park and visiting Victoria Falls. Lunch was at  Hungry Lion with french fries and fried chicken.  Before our trip back to Kalomo we had Ice Cream sundaes. Keep praying for our kids in town.  We have 13 in grades 8-11. Mama Benita is doing a great job.

Michael and I spent a couple of days at House of Hope working on the Activities building and trying to just spend a bit of time with Sheri.  She has been very busy with the children and will return for her last year of studies in August after a trip to Congo DR. We loved watching them learning together.
