I made a volcano!

Madylanne made a volcano in school on Friday...she was pretty excited to see it erupt, although it was a little smaller than we expected. Next time we'll have to make it a bit bigger.  :) We try to make Fridays fun around our place...show and tell day at school, experiment day about once a month, and of course Family Fun Friday night with pizza perpetually on the menu.  :)

This lovely woman is Bo Namasiku, the mother of this sweet sleeping child, Mulemba. Many of you have heard stories of Bo Namasiku and her new found faith in Jesus. Bo Namasiku is pregnant with their 6th child and the little one pictured above has trouble sleeping sometimes. Bo Namasiku says, "It is good to follow Jesus. Now our dreams are sweet." Please continue to pray for Mulemba to sleep well and for Bo Namasiku as she will be having another baby soon. Please also pray for her husband, Bo Muselo, who is on the path to following Jesus but still struggles with alcohol. Please pray he will let Jesus help him fight this battle.  

How does our garden grow?

Mark made a protective cage of sorts to keep our strawberries safe from birds, who love our strawberries as much as we do! Matthew LOVES them and as soon as he sees a red one he will do whatever he can to get it in his mouth!

We have sunflowers in our garden!  A nice reminder of Kansas right in the heart of Africa.  :)

We had the great joy of spending the weekend at a fellow team member's home two weekends ago, and while there we were able to worship with them at Litoma Baptist Church. God bless you, Daniel and Sky, as you teach the Word of God and lead by example. You can see they are using the Chronological Bible storying cloth to share 42 stories from Creation to the ascension of Christ. Now they are teaching through the book of Acts and Lord willing, there will be a story cloth for this soon, too.

Here are some photos of church family at Litoma Baptist Church. This is Allan, and below him is Pumelo. Their wives and children are in the next two pictures. Please pray for these two families and the Scotts as they gather for worship on Sundays...that this church would grow! Pray also that there would be unity, and that a new generation would be raised up to worship Jesus Christ.

Living it up at the Scotts

Daniel and Sky gave us the best weekend....we are having the most relaxing time here...can't you tell? From boat rides to playing in the kiddy sprinkler to hot dog and smore roast on the beach to sitting in man chairs and watching tv, we did it all!

Here we are...from left to right we are Melynda, Matthew, Sky, Country (in Sky's lap), River Belle, and Madylanne
We had a lovely time and so did the kids!
Thanks for a wonderful weekend at your place, Daniel and Sky. :)
