Welcome Back and Car Trouble

This week brought a little excitement for the staff and volunteers here at Beautiful Gate. Allan and Donna have returned from Australia. They went home for a visit and unfortunately for them, experienced a lot of problems with their home due to the storms and flooding in Australia. They were delayed by a month and a half, so everyone is happy to have them back here at Beautiful Gate (except their family back home I am sure). Allan oversees the maintenance crew and all the building projects, so there will be more projects getting underway soon. Donna is a nurse who spends some time here at Beautiful Gate and at another child care center in Maseru. She suprised my kids today with some stuffed koala toys from Australia, bubbles, and a kitkat for each kid. They were very pleased and spent the afternoon using lincoln logs to build homes for their koalas. Very cute. So...welcome back Allan and Donna :)

We are beginning to make some plans for a trip to Cape Town at the beginning of April. Bryan, Ray, Sue and I will be meeting with all the other leaders of the other 3 Beautiful Gate centers/schools. One area of concern for us has been the delay in our transportation. We bought our car 6 1/2 weeks ago and were told it should arrive in 2-3 weeks. The car dealer owes some back taxes and so the car is unable to be released. We are told to just hang on and wait and that it will come (they just can't give us any ideas of when). So now we will have the unexpected cost of renting a car to get to the conference. We are trying to be patient, but we would appreciate your prayers that the car will get here soon so we can be good stewards of our resources. Thanks for your prayers already for those of you who are my friends on facebook. We know it will all work out in God's timing and we need to just leave it up to Him.
God bless you,
Anita
