Our visit home was a time of refreshing for us as well as the time to catch up with friends and family.. We're back in Okahandja at the International Training Centre - What next?
Faye is very busy ensuring that financial records and movement of funds in and through the International Office are processed in a timely fashion and in keeping with our policies and procedures.. IN order to maximise on her time and accomodate Joshua it became necessary for Faye to move her office into our flat.. This allows her to work and supervise Joshua at the same time..
In addition to the administration and book keeping that Faye does, she also plays a very active role in the running of Kids club on a Wednesday and a Thursday.. Between 50-100 children attend club and at times some children have to be turned away due to the lack of sufficient staff to adequately monitor the children and give them the attention they need..
Larnelle is very busy with school and we have to at times insist on some controls for her other occupation which interferes with her effectively studying and doing homework.. At this point in time I am happy to say her other occupation is a lot easier to handle than a boy.. it's the cell phone.. We are very proud of Larnelle and very pleased with her performance at school. She has really exelled this year and we are loking forward to great things from her next year when she starts high school. We have made application for her to attend the local private school which is the one that will give her a very good education.. Please do pray for us as we take a bold step of Faith to trust God for the finances to cover her school fees..
Sydney continues to bring us much joy with her free spirit and very inquisitive mind. She will be returning to Smarties Kindergarten in 2009 and will start grade 1 in 2010.. How can I describe Sydney? She definitely thinks 'outside the box', is strong willed and very bright.. The other day I was playing with her and gave her a hug- turning to me she simply told me that I needed to have a shave ! Sydney still loves to go wherever dad goes and at times is very upset when she is not able to do so.. We are happy to say that she is now completely free of having to use pampers and thoroughly enjoys riding her BIG bicycle that papa Chappie bought her during his last visit.
Joshua is up and away.. He is walking now, can get up on his own and negotiates the small steps at the centre with quite a bit of ease.. He has a mouthful of teeth and whilst he continues to be breast fed he also has a very healthy appetite.. He of course is trying to talk now and can often be heard mumbling as he walks about the flat and the centre....
Eric - Busy and asking for wisdom to balance the many responsibilities on his shoulders..
Bottom Line - We are well, we are strong, we are thrilled to have granny Maria visiting us.. We are very thankful for all our friends and family and for those who have committed to pray for us and who partner with us financially..
For our prayer/financial partners please could you add these few items to your prayer list:
1. Wisdom for Eric and Faye as they parent the children.
2. Finances for Larnelle's High Schooling in 2009..
3. A new vehicle- our present vehicle has put in a request for retirement..
4. For continued sensitivity to the Holy Spirit as we serve as Missionaries in Christ's Hope International based here in Namibia..
THANK YOU and GOD BLESS YOU !
