FRIDAY: RAIN, RAIN, CAMEL

Thank you for your prayers. The thunderclouds formed and the rain came. I took a picture to show how dry it was this morning (no city water for over 2 days). Rain and thunderstorms even knocked out the power this afternoon. Again, thank you for your prayers. Please continue to pray for the rain especially at the farm.

Bonnie led the children in book mark crafts this morning. They loved being able to use the scissors and glue. The age did not matter--Your own pair of scissors, glue, markers, and yarn—now that is happiness. Esau, the new little boy, has found a secure place in Bonnie’s lap. Ima, the old little boy, has taken exception to Esau’s occupying Bonnie’s lap and seems a rivalry is brewing among the “little boys”. Dereck added a bill to his crown and wore it all day. It looks pretty cool—kinda like a military cap with no top. Alex has been in charge of the props--he drew the camel. Dan joined him in finishing the coloring of the camel. Stephen has been “directing” the best Christmas pageant ever of the wisemen for the Christmas Celebration on Sunday. Please remember the Celebration in your prayers. Many government officials, business people, and local dignitaries have accepted their invitations. This is an excellent opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We were going to play outside but the RAIN came and so that is tomorrow.

The secondary school dormitory is really taking shape and is looking great. Today they continued putting on the outside finishing (stucco), the ceiling supports, the toilets are being built, and the tile being laid in the showers. A new innovation is a gray water system for recycling the shower water for watering plants and some cleaning (vehicles, etc). We learned of new rules regarding the construction of such dorms coming into effect next year. Due to the insight of the Teleios partner who drew the plans that is not an issue.
