Happy Birthday Faith!

Today Faith turns 9. It is hard to believe that she blessed us that many years ago! She is a delight to our family and is a blessing to us. She loves to read, ride her scooter, ride her bike, hang out with her dorm guys, and listen to music. She is doing great in school - loving math, reading and art. She is starting to be more adventurous - she signed up for dodgeball today. She did great! She loves Africa but she also loves and misses her family and is excited to see them again.

Happy Birthday to an amazing daughter!

Spring Break

Okay, I have to admit I had grocery store envy. This is a picture of their big store like Walmart - it is a supersize Walmart. It was huge. They had so many things that we miss from the States. It was nice being able to buy clothes of the rack and not out of a pile! I didn't have to haggle with anyone - the price was right on the clothes!





Spring break is over but we had a great time! Ron and I had time to do a few fun things while in South Africa - we were able to go to a lion park and game reserve. We were able to play with the lion cubs and feed the giraffes. It is amazing to see God's creation up close! The lions in the game reserve were within 10 feet of our car - they were amazing and beautiful.

We came home on Sunday and picked up the kids on Monday. On Tuesday we took the kids to the amazing hotel where they have a large pool and we spent the day swimming and soaking up the rays.

The rest of the week we watched movies, played games and relaxed. We only have 8 weeks before school is over and we will have successfully completed our first school year!

Kids are doing great in school and still love being here! Thanks for your prayers for our family while we are here - we hope you had a blessed Easter!
