The Haven Team is here

Hello Everyone!
Sorry I have not written in a week but I was recovering from tiredness after having the 22 people from Jo-burg, and then I was not feeling well for a few days. I am recovered from both of those and enjoying some quality time with friends from Holland/Zeeland. The "Haven" (some are actually from other churches in the Holland area)team arrived yesterday around 6pm. We talked for a bit then quick ran into the houses to play with kids for a few minutes before we had dinner. It was such a blessing to show my friends all my Beautiful Gate kids. Despite their massive jet lag, we were able to have dinner and make a few plans before they all had to head off to bed.
Today we went to TY to a weaver workshop/ store and witnessed some Basotho women weaving and spinning wool into yarn. The team enjoyed the new sights and then browsed through the shop looking at all the tapestries. Then we took them to the Kome Caves and they had to take a pretty steep hike to get down to the cave dwellings. Today, all the families were home so we were able to see all 5 of the houses. We had some great conversations with the tour guide, the taxi drivers and each other. I can not even begin to tell you how amazing it is for our family to have our friends here. I know they are not here for us, but so that they can bless Beautiful Gate and the kids and staff here, however, they are a blessing to us. Sharing our lives and stories in person rather than over the Internet is so good for us. I'll try to post a little extra this week as they are not keeping a blog (maybe I can get one of them to post too so you don't just get my perspective) I am off to bed because I have to help with Sunday School in the morning.
Good Night
Anita
