Happy Father's Day, Mark

 We are so thankful to the Lord for Mark. He is such a wonderful father to our children. I am very thankful for how he loves our children and leads our family. Happy Father's Day, Mark! 

Birthday Girl

Madylanne is 14!! WOW this girl knows how to travel the globe for new and different places to celebrate her birthday every year. This year is coastal East Africa, last year was Lusaka, Zambia, and the year before was Western Province of Zambia/Senanga. 

Our team leader's kids spent part of the week with us. We sure enjoyed their company. What a blessing to have them here for Madylanne's birthday. Thank you for a wonderful week, Elias and Charis!

Friends, pizza, and cake. Must be a birthday party. :)

 

Tusoma Kiswahili

I am so very thankful to the Lord for Mama Tswila. She is helping me learn Swahili, and teaching me how to cook mahambri, a kind of donut. They were a big hit with the kids. 

 

What is this giant thing??

 Anybody know what this fruit is?? They grow on a tree in the front yard. And they are delicious! I first ate them in Taiwan. Micah loves them SOOO much. They are called.....pomelo. They taste like a mild grapefruit. So yummy! 

Way to go, Matthew and Micah

We are so proud of the boys...they've done a great job at school the last few weeks! 

 

I am always thankful for their help with the dishes.  

Mother's Day 2021

What a special Mother's Day for me this year. Mark and the kids took me out for lunch and then we played on the beach. The kids made cards and Mark surprised me with flowers. I am so blessed by my husband and children! Thank You God for my family! 

 

Learning language and culture

This is Mark and Mr. Alex, working on language on the front porch. We are so thankful for Mr. Alex! Thank You Lord for this friend and helper. 

 He invited us to his parent's home for a home cooked meal after church on Sunday. What a delicious treat! We are so thankful for their hospitality! Mashed bananas, coconut beans, coconut spinach, meat stew, and chapatis. A feast! 

Sitting in the living room: Mr. Alex, his father the pastor, and Mark. 

This is Alex's oldest daughter, Tamyra. I thought we should capture her toothless grin with Micah's!
