Moving Day!!





Moving day!! All is not yet finished in the house, but we were ready to move in. The kids were excited about their new rooms, and wanted to sleep in them.
So we began to move beds, and a few things into the house.
The problem was that the new van didn't have the room to carry furniture, and the old one would not start. So how do you move your fridge, sofa, and a few other bigger items?
We rented a donkey cart. It worked quite well, and Lisa & Caleb got their first donkey cart ride...

One snag we have in the new house is that the well is low on water. So we need a few
weeks of rain to bring it up to normal. So in the meantime, if I put in my powerful water pump, it will slurp all the water, and damage itself with the mud at the bottom of the well. So for the moment, we are getting water the old way via buckets, and I'm using a sump pump to lift the water up to the water tower. That seems to be working.

On ministry side of life, I've been finding possible students for Danielle who will be coming, and able to give an English conversation class. Problem is, the students will all be gone, as school is out. So I've contacted 6 non-students, businessmen who are interested. I hope we can add a few more to these, so Danielle will be able to work with them.
Please pray that God will bring the students that he has prepared to study with her.
She arrive in Mali the 18th of May. Continue to pray for her adjustment to the world here.

Thanks for stopping by, God Bless,
