The Haven team was such a blessing to have around and we are all missing them, but we praise God for bringing them here even if the time felt too quick. Ntate Edward summed it up best today when I asked him how he was doing he said, "I think I will feel better next week. Sometimes I think it was all a dream."


We have found some ways to keep busy and the biggest way is that Bryan, Terp, Kristen and I are taking Sesotho lessons. Amazingly, I think I have already learned more in 2 days than I did when I did 6 months of tutoring once a week when we first got here :) Kea laboha  (thank you) Thato! We will be having class for 1 hour every work day for 4 to 6 weeks, unless we are unavailable such as tomorrow when we are going away with all the management and department leaders for a two day planning session (please pray for all of us as we try to hear from God about where He is leading Beautiful Gate).


Another big thing going on is a small addition to our house. We live in a beautiful 2 bedroom duplex and it is a tight squeeze at times. We were happy to just work through it for 2 more years but since we are extending our time for an extra 2 years, we have decided to add a bedroom on for Elijah. Currently, I have all 3 kids in one room which also doubles as our school room. This will allow for a bit more space for us. The kids are all looking forward to this change so I guess the time was right :) I will try to post some pics once the room is finished.
