Good morning, all. Today we head out for our Fun Day! A day of playing with the kids from both carepoints and giving them a very special meal of chicken dust. We’ll have a bounce house, lots of games and will also be showing “The Jesus Film for Children” in Siswati! Please pray that the children will be touched by this film.
Unfortunately, this is also a sad day for us. It is the last day we’ll be at the carepoints with our kids. The goodbyes are tough, but the times spent with these precious children is priceless. The memories will be with us forever. And remember my previous prediction? Eleven more hearts are forever left in Africa. I can’t wait to see when they’ll be ready to return to them!
PS Carol, I’ll miss being with you as the 5…15…30…57 kids roll out of the party bus!!!
Am I seeing less hair on a couple of heads from some earlier pics?
Yes you are – Sarah buzzed them!
As I was praying for each of you this morning, tears came to my eyes as I thought of today, such a fun, special day for the children and each of you, and knowing today will be hard when it is time to leave. Oh what priceless memories you will have in your hearts forever. Looking forward to seeing pictures from today and those beautiful smiles on those beautiful faces. Know that each of you have been exactly where GOD placed you at this time in your lives, not only are you changed but these children are also for having you there with them. Love to each of you!!!!!
Carolyn,
You were missed! I was the cry baby of the group. I kept telling them that I didn’t hold a candle to you!
(I know that I don’t have to sign this as you know who I am!)
It’s been great to follow you all on this blog. God bless you all. This will be an experience that will change your lives forever.
I am sure that in addition to what you have done to minister to these children, they have blessed you beyond compare.
“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me.” Mark 9:37
I am so glad you all are having such a beautiful time at Timbutini and Ruby’s! Those pictures are so precious! We have been praying for you guys. I love all of you!

Prayed for you today – for the fun, and to bind up sad and wounded hearts when you have to leave and process everything.
Thank you Penny for the laughter! I can just see that party bus arriving with huge smiles on faces everywhere – here too.
Much much LOVE!!!
