Doin' the wash

 This is Lucy. She helps with the laundry since we don't have a washer for the time being. I am SO SO thankful for Lucy and her help! Please pray for Lucy and her family.

Madylanne helps me take the clothes off the line once they're dry...usually just a few hours after being washed. 

Drinking Water

This is our drinking water- we bought a few large bottles and put a pump on the top- when we finish a bottle we get it washed and refilled. It's great! 

 

Coconut tree

 Matthew loves to climb...so he was pumped to discover he can climb the coconut tree in the front yard. We were warned not to park the truck under this tree or falling coconuts might dent the roof and/or break the windshield. Well, that's the first time we've had a warning like this! :) We are thankful for wise counsel! 

Thankful for wheels

Micah is standing in front of the vehicle we are blessed to use. Thank you everyone for giving to Lottie Moon Christmas Offering and to your cooperative program at your church because this helps us have a vehicle to drive!! 

And shocker, I can actually drive this truck! It's an automatic!! My foot reaches the pedals, guys! Woohoo!!! 

 

tuk tuk

This is local transportation! They are called tuk tuk's. They are everywhere and very reasonably priced. Faster than Uber! :)  The kids thought it was fun to ride one to the beach. 

 

We made it!

By the grace of God we made it to our new spot on the globe! Thank you all for praying us here! It was quite the trek from the big city but the Lord opened the doors for us to drive here. 

Coastal East Africa is absolutely beautiful. 

 

time for school

The kids were a little disappointed they had to pull out school books. But they worked hard and I am proud of them!
