Updates

-We found a really nice house that will suit our needs perfectly. Please pray that our sponsors will come through for us and that we will be able to move in as soon as possible. Right now our team doesn't fit in the house we have so we're renting a flat down the road. So as you can imagine we're all looking forward to having a place where we can all fit comfortably.

-We got a car! Hooray!!!

-I've been involved with a new project this past month. We're making audios of the 12 Foundations Stones study notes and extra reading material, compiling songs and slides shows that go with the classes, and putting it on CD and a website. Hopefully we will be able to make this available for all with maybe a small donation for our work putting it all together.
I also went to Stanza Bopape and helped give a STEPS and Teacher's workshop. It was Jan, Angela, Janet and myself. Teachers and caregivers from Stanza and other drop-in centers were there, and they all said how helpful the workshop was. They were so inspired by the end and were begging for more material and classes.

-I'm painting again! We went out to the art/crafts store in Hatfield and I was able to buy a few canvases. I checked out the price of just buying canvas material and making the support frames at home but it's more expensive that just buying the prepared canvases. Maybe I need to check out a few more art stores. So I'm painting in the evenings again...the only time I have really. But it's a lot of fun and I'll update my art blog once I have stuff to show

-Starting to play tennis...and football. I'm sure you never thought I was such a sporty person. Well, I'm not really I just like sports and getting good exercise. I've been playing football once or twice a week now. The others are all much better than me so I end up being the last one chosen on the team, doesn't bother me as I know I'm such a liability to any team on the field. :) But hopefully I'm learning and it's a lot of fun! I'm also learning to play tennis. We go a few times a week, and I can actually hit the ball and almost make a proper serve. It's not actually as easy as it looks! Phil is very helpful though and he's trying his best to teach me.

-The Lord has been so good to us and we've been overflowing with food since I've been here. Our freezer is full of meat and our fridges are full of fruits and vegetables. I was worried about loosing weight coming back to Africa but the Lord has seen to it that I "shall not lack any good thing".
