Our boys are sponsored

Praise the Lord, our boys are sponsored!  We were surprised and thrilled that Sunday school friends sponsored the 4 boys that were left to be sponsored.  Those boys are all so smart and so badly needed to be in school.  Education is critical for these children and with that is the hope that they will be great leaders for their country one day.  Please pray for those that will sponsor Juliet and Fridah.  I have confidence that they will be sponsored soon.

Life is all but back to normal and today I shopped at Walmart and had to restrain from buying clothes and goodies for our little Zambian family.  I was so busy with that before our trip and now I'm just really missing them.  Taylor, Amanda and Lilly try to go out to the village once a week and they said the kids are doing amazingly well.  There home is always picked up, beds are made and toys put away if no one is playing with them.  Our American kids could learn a thing or two from them.  I do think the difference is that they so appreciate what they have.  Having next to nothing one day and then having your own bed and a shower the next is huge.  Last week was Lilly's birthday and the kids made her a card (something they would have never done or been able to do before the end of June).  My favorite line is "we are very proud of your child our sister."  They are our family and we are so blessed by that.  This is by far the best thing our family has ever done!
