Most Mornings....

...These are the ones I get to hang out with!

Lucky Me!

Catching Up.

This afternoon was the first one in a few days that

I have gotten to spend with the kids here at KP.

I felt bad for skipping out on play time the last

few days so when the girls wanted to paint their toe

nails this afternoon. I thought... SURE!

It was a fun afternoon of painting toe nails and eating ring pops,

and catching up on whats been going on the last few days!

It really is all about the simple things!

Incredible

Thursday morning I was woken well before my alarm to inform  me

that a friend had gone into labor and I was in line to assist her and play

interpreter. It was my first time figuring out the public hospital (not fun

especially so early in the morning and I hadn't have my coffee yet:)

After a long day of getting things figured out

at 5:35 that evening little Jenaiyah entered the world, and I 

was the first to see her (after her mom and the dr.'s of course).

She is so beautiful and perfect and I was content to sit there and look

at her for hours.

Praising Jesus that mommy and baby are doing well and they were

able to go home today.

Headed home

Tonight I headed home the same time as the goats. 

So I got to follow them down the road for a good half mile or so

before they turned off down the lane towards their house.

Yikes!

Yesterday night when I came home I noticed the

electricity was not right, when the lights kept dimming and the smell of burning

 wiring started filling the house. Soon after Nick called me to inform

me they cut the current because of sparks flying from the power lines.

This morning I moved this electrical strip and noticed the burn marks

all around and through it from last nights electrical issues.

Thankfully they were fixed today!

The Normal Everyday

Sister must have been really tired.

I couldn't believe she fell asleep, doubled over, while I combed out her hair.

That Moment

When you pull off a paper towel first thing in 

the morning and are greeted by a big bug hiding

underneath.

A lovely way to start the day!

Ackeem

Ackeem is the newest addition to New Hope. He just arrived and is

a few days old. Please be praying that he will quickly get a family.

Spike

Not the Spike you were expecting?

This is Spike II. She just arrived Tues.
When I arrived back from furlough I was informed that Spike 

(the original) had gone onto that great dog park in the sky.

Now we have this new and much cuter one:)

1st week back!

They're Back!!!!!!!!

Well some of them are. I feel like they are coming

in really slowing this fall.

Please be praying for the kids here at the school 

as they continue to come in and transition back

to the school routine.

Thanks!

Calling All Prayer Warriors.

The day I flew out to the states I  got an email informing me

that the government was ready to move the older kids 

from New Hope to Children's homes more age appropriate.

We knew it was going to happen, just not when it would happen.

A few weeks later they were moved. 

Please be praying for:

 Alex

 Shannel

 Joy

 Omar

 Felicia

 Shakera

Hope

As they transition to their new homes. Thankfully so far Joy and Shannel

are together at a home for special needs kids here in MV and I am hopping 

to be able to visit regularly. The rest were moved to a home in St. Ann,

and thankfully they were all moved to the same home.

Please be praying for health and safety over these kids as they continue 

to grow. New Hope now seems so different without them.

Thanks
