This past week;



We'd like to try and keep you updated on our last week or so. I have done a fair amount of traveling. I took a group of Boy Scouts down to the coast for a weekend of camping on the beach, took a group of Christian donors up to southwestern Sudan to dedicate a new hospital, and flew back up to South Sudan to bring a team of missionaries back from a conference in Yei.

Micah and I also had a chance to go and see the US National Rugby team play the Kenya National team in a Jr. World Championships. The US ended up loosing in the last couple of minutes, but it was a pretty exciting match to watch.












Here are the people that come and bring items to house:





Here is Wycliffe - he comes and cuts our grass and trims things if needed. Can you believe that he came one week with this shirt on!! :) I said, "Wycliffe, I love your shirt - that is our favorite team in Ohio!" He said he loved that shirt too....cause it is a tank top! :) Isn't it funny that it is even #23!! Who would even give that shirt away?!












This is the vegetable lady - Monica. She comes once a week with any vegetables that we text her the night before with! Isn't that a hoot! Everyone has cell phones here!




Here is Elizabeth our beloved Fish Lady! She doesn't enough for us! Actually, she comes about every three weeks. She brings the fish whole - Tilapia (m-m-m...) and filets it right here. We usually let her keep the head and tail as that is a treat for them to make fish stew with.


All these people are faithful christians and have such amazing stories of how they found the Lord and their family struggles. Sometimes we have time to sit and chat - sometimes not. They are quite inspiring to me.







Here is Micah with his friend Ruben. He stayed over night and then we went to get Kurt after his trip. They boys enjoyed looking in the airplanes. :)

  1. Thanks for the update. Always glad to hear what is happening! The Cavs shirt is funny! I heard last night that the stores are selling them very quickly right now during the playoffs.
