Family and Fun

Here is a picture of little Caden working hard!  He seems to like it!
This is a picture of Landon being himself.  He has his book, his cool glasses, and his game boy!  What else does he need?!

We are all enjoying being back home.  The boys have loved school.  They both have very nice teachers.  Landon will be going to a week long team building camp the first week of March.  I hope I make it through the week without seeing or talking to him.  He and Kendall are both on a mid-term holiday this week.  I love having them home!  The weather has been hot, cool, and raining.  Sounds a lot like AR weather, doesn't it?!  

Caden is growing up so much.  He is learning his shapes, letters, and colors.  He is also very good at getting us to all do what he wants.  

Todd is working on his budget for next year.  Please pray that God will give him wisdom in this as well as everything else he has on his God-given agenda right now.  

I am busy cooking, cleaning, and taking care of my favorite boys.  I am also longing to grow deeper in my relationship with my Savior.  Know that we love you all and miss you very much.    If you would like to know more about the ministry here, please send us your email address.  We send out a newsletter that reports more about what God is doing here in Botswana.  

Home Again.....

As many of you know we have made our journey back to Gaborone.  We have moved in to our home and are getting settled in.  Since our arrival we have been greeting our friends, unpacking boxes, going to the grocery store, enrolling the boys in school, and going to the grocery store. :)

It is the rainy season now, so everything looks beautiful and green.  We still have grass and roses in the front yard.  Our dog, Abunga, is now gone because he chewed up our gate motor one too many times.  So Todd went today to purchase a new gate motor, not a new dog.

I long to walk back into the community where the Lord so graciously allowed me to minister during our first term, but the rain has been too much.  Caden and I will venture out soon.  It is hard to know where to begin when you arrive back on the field.  So we start with prayer and sharing our faith.  I know the Lord will continue to guide us.  Thank you for your love and prayers.
