Sick Week is Over!

I'm hoping this was our one and only family sick week this year. Derek had German Measles, Matthew had a sinus infection, Kyla had tonsillitis, and Malachi and I both fought off just feeling tired and weary. Today we are trying to get our lives back together from a week of laying low and waiting expectantly for the week ahead.

Some good things going on around us this past week were:

We've got an outreach team from Orlando that is busy working at our orphan care projects, Freedom Park, and other areas of Rustenburg. They are doing a great job!

A friend of mine took over my Bible study this week on extremely short notice. Abby in the words of Vanessa, "You did a stunning job". Thank you!

In my feeble attempts to do laundry I didn't clean out Derek's pockets and washed his ipod with the clothes. That's not good, but a friend sent us a message saying they want to replace the one I ruined. Gifts like that, ones just for our enjoyment or in this case the health of our marriage (haha) do great things for our hearts. Thank you H&K!

Matt only made it to school two days this week, but both times were without incident and he came home happy and encouraged by the school day. Lots of prayers being answered!
