Goodbyes and change…

Yesterday we had another tough exchange. The twins, Axxel & Atdriel, and their brother Alvin left to go live with an uncle. They were some very lively boys that added a lot of spice to the mixture here! And then last evening was the farewell supper for Gideon. Oh, my! It’s going to be so hard to see him leave! He’s been such a tremendous blessing to us here and we will miss him horribly!

The last several weeks we had a group here from OH doing more welding work and on Wed was the big installation day. Our entrance is now transformed and looks so nice. It was a big deal to put up the roof as a finished item but they did a great job getting it in place.

We are really enjoying having Nate’s here! Our boys are enjoying their school vacation and it’s a great refreshment for us all. They brought gift packets for the children, from their church, so Wed. evening we passed them around. The children loved it! Thanks to all who contributed to the project! IMG_1851
