As I was going through my photos this evening I picked a few to put in this blog post about what we did yesterday (Sunday). After looking at them I began thinking “we didn’t do that yesterday we did that today” at that point I knew it had been a long day!
To catch you up though we did deliver mattresses on Sunday.
It was looking to be an uneventful Sunday but after arriving at Romans (this is his home and where we stored the mattresses until they were needed) we needed to call the chief of the village in regards to one of the kids from an orphanage. He had run away in fear of being beaten because he had told the truth to the news media and the chief. By the time the chief found a temporary home for him and he was settled it was late in the day. Late but something important was accomplished! You should have seen the relief on this boys face after arriving at his temporary home!
And that brings us to today when we picked up the gate for the children’s home property and beds to go with those mattresses.
The gate is secured onto the truck for transport
Gate and beds are ready to go
This is where the gate will be installed and a cement drive will also be poured
While we were bringing in the gate and beds Lewis was helping dig the pit for the bathrooms on the property
Then it was time to set up the beds - 2 bunk beds in one room makes for a very tight space and this is the entire apartment!
Ahhh now we can sleep tonight 🙂
This was a very quick update but I wanted to get something to you (that’s also my preparation for you that I may not be posting tomorrow! It looks to be another long day). Along with these deliveries and bed set-up we went into town for supplies. Anastacia, at one point, looked at me while she was picking out lunch containers for the kids and said “it’s a whole new life, isn’t it?” Yup Anastacia it is and may God get all the thanks and glory for it and may we always seek Him above all else in this new life 🙂
