Friday...

Today we sorted shoes, a container full of shoes. We made a small dent that took us a couple of hours. We sorted into school shoes, children’s house and adult shoes. Then it rained again, as it did most days now. It is very refreshing. Quick, a lot and then the sun shines again. David and went to the nursery area today to help feed babies. This brings me great joy. It takes so little to make them happy. Give them a bottle, a clean nappy and a cuddle and the reward is an ear to ear smile. Awe yes a great reward. I also helped in the area with sick babies. They are separated from the others. They are not allowed to come out of the room but you can still feed and cuddle them like the others. You must sanitize your hands after leaving to prevent the spreading of disease.
Hello to my family and friends. I do miss you when I think about it but for now I am happy helping out here wherever I can. I am practicing for when I get home. We are safe, happy and keeping busy. Hard to think just 5 days and we will be home. Love to you all. See you soon.

Just a note to say that the team is holding a nite/evening for the aunties and uncles here at NACMU and putting on a bit of a get together. Tomorrow morning we will be hosting a sports day for all the children that go to school here from the community and parents are invited as well! It should be a lot of fun for us and for the community.

It's been beautiful weather here this entire week. Today has been the hottest at 25* and sunny. The leaves are finally making their way out, you'll notice a real change when you get back. Hope you're all doing well.

Glad to hear the safari was a great experience. Hopefully we can see some pictures of your sports day tomorrow as that is a great idea. High twenties today in Calgary where we actually needed sunscreen.

Janis - boys and I say Hi and hope you are feeling well. Boys can't wait to see some pictures of the animals from the safari. See you on Wednesday. Give us a quick reply if you get a chance.

Hi Ray and Caitlin!
This is a very late note to you for which we apologize. Kathy will fill you in on the delay. We've read your reports with much interest. We've also been praying that the team will be able to complete the construction project along with the other ministry goals. In these final days may you continue to know the Lord's blessing and journeying mercies.

We send our love to you both.

Mom and Dad - (Grandma and Grandpa)
