Eureka!

We are SO THANKFUL for the water pump that we were able to purchase with money from the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. Sesheke’s water supply, the Zambezi River, has plenty of water in it, however one of the main pumps to push it through pipes all over town is broken, again. This means very few people in town are getting much water, if any. This includes us and has for a long time. So thank you, supporters, for giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering so that we can have water! We also will pump it from the Zambezi River, which is behind the backyard, into the house and yard.

Happy Birthday!

Pastor Given turned 20 today, Happy Birthday Given! We had him over for dinner and chocolate birthday cake. You could see his cake much better if my Sprite wasn't in the way. Oh well.  :) We thank God for you, Given! He is finishing up his grade 12 finals and will be done November 19th.

Another special birthday today is my Grandma Gragg's birthday. Happy birthday Grandma Gragg! It made my heart so happy to hear your voice on my computer today. I love you and miss you so much. Thank you for all the wonderful memories we have together and for always praying for me, even from the time I was a child. I love you and cherish you! May God bless you everyday but especially today, your birthday! I love you. :)

Airborn

 Mark and Daniel, our team leader, went to a meeting in Botswana last week on this plane, piloted by Andy, from Flying Mission. A week passed and we waited for them at the airstrip near Daniel's house- you can see how happy the kids were to welcome their Daddy and pose with the pilot and plane! It was a lot of fun watching it zoom in and land right next to us. Thank You Lord, for Andy and for Flying Mission.

While Mark and Daniel were at the meeting, the kids and I stayed with Daniel's wife, Sky, and their two beautiful children, River Belle and Country. Here they are getting a ride on the hammock. We had a lovely week together!
