Playing outside...

Today we went outside so Zeke could play some. They also came to fix our leaky roof. To fix it they have to mix up some cement and put more on the roof (it's a flat roof). They had brought a donkey cart load of sand and just dumped it in our courtyard. Well, of course, Zeke found the sand. He enjoyed playing it. Here are a few pics I was able to take.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, while we were outside Arnett worked on fixing our clothes line that had broke. Zeke tried to help his Daddy, however, it only tangled the line up worse. Here are a few shots of him trying to help his Daddy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, Zeke got curious as to what I as doing.

Sad News...

Well, I wish I had some good news but, unfortunately, I don't. We found out yesterday that Baby Solomon passed away a week ago today.

Two weeks ago today, as they were told to do, the villagers took Solomon and Grandma to the doctor on a motorcycle and were given more formula mix and another dietary supplement for  Grandma to try to make her milk come in. They returned back to the village and continued mixing formula for the baby for a  week. Sadly, Solomon passed away a week later. Thank you all so much for praying for Solomon and Grandma.

In other news, we're doing well. Due to Zeke being sick or myself being sick it had been a couple of weeks since he and I had been out to D-village. I was starting to feel pretty purposeless here. Praise the Lord, we were able to go out last week and God renewed my sense of purpose. I was able to have some good one on one time with three of the women in our village. I was also able to help them make shea butter. Since I had done it before in another village I sorda knew how to do it. They were really impressed by that! We'll be going back out to D-village this week. Going along with us this week is a local believer. God has truly blessed this man with the gift of evangelism, the ability to tell stories, and sing. He can also relate to the Africans so much better than we can. Please pray for him as he'll be sharing in the village this week. Pray that our visit will bring glory and honor to God and that many will come to know Him.

Thank you for your prayers, you are vital to our work here!! Until next time...
