Once upon a time.......

19th May
Let me start with an apology. Bek has sent a number of messges that I haven't blogged for her. So to those of you who use this site as a way of keeping up with what is happening, (and to Bek and Dion), I'm sorry, life just gets like that sometimes. I've listed the messages in the same order that I recieved them, so it may read a bit disjointed.

Okay so now to their news.
The schools have allowed some of the children to go back but they had until Monday 18th to pay their fees.

There are currently 25 children in the feeding program, and three new ladies helping with the cooking..

Bek is having the odd difficult day, but after telling Kudzi that the country was making her cranky, she was laughed at and recieved a hug which seemed to make it all a bit better. Simon has told them he want's them to stay forever, so they must be doing something right.

The ladies who have been learning to sew have been talking about making things to sell and Bek has been encouraging them to keep dreaming big dreams of what they can do. They have been given a large bag of fabric, they wer so excited some twer raising thier arms thanking God, Graciousness was almost crying. Keep these ladies in your prayes as they continue to trust God with their hospes and dreams.

Latest message that has just come in:
Its hard to believe we ahve been hear 2 months now we are feeling some of the difficulties of living in such a different place but the Lord is with us always, amen. Dion had his birthday on Saturday, it was a nice day, spent a home relaxing.
We are still needing help in getting some school fees paid Please contact us if you would like to help with this..


Comments from Susan
When we spoke to them on Sunday Bek sounded like she was realy struggling. Dion seems to be doing fine, but I am concerned about Bek, I think some things have not gone the way she had hoped and frustration is getting the better of her. The victories, like the feeding program and the ladies learning to sew sometimes just done't seem enought when you can see so much need and having to rely on me to get all their new out must also be a great frustration. Please keep praying for them and sending them messges of support. I know how much that means to them. If you have to use this blog, that is fine, I will pass the messages on, either through text or when we ring them.
