Football

The kids at North Cobb Christian school, in Mrs. Cash's class blessed us so much!  They sent us some balls and a pump and some cones, everything you need to have a great football game!  We couldn't decide who to give them to, and all the schools here could use some new ones.  We decided to give them to Kapisha basic school, where one of the members of the boma church is a teacher.  It is about 8km down a horrible dirt road.  We drove out there this morning and presented them with the new equipment!  They were thrilled to say the least.  Hutch and Lulie wanted to stay and play with them, but we had interrupted their school work, so we had to say next time!  It was great to be able to help this precious little school.  Up until a few months ago, it was a community school.  It has now been upgraded to a government school, which means, a new building and more teachers.  We reminded them of how much God loves each one of them and that the children in America were thinking about them and praying for them.  They will have so much fun playing after school now!

Rabbits!

Hutch and Lulie have started a rabbit farm! They are fearless and love chasing them around, feeding them grass, and petting them! These will bring much entertainment and adorable pictures for the future!

Lulie looks like a little rabbit when she is in the cage with them.

The rabbits will be used to introduce some of the locals to rabbit farming and hopefully give them a new protein source (As I am fully aware that Mary Margaret will never consider them a viable protein source).

We're Home

After two long months of being gone from Kaputa, we arrived back on Sunday.  It was a long journey and we were happy to be back here.  Immediately, Hutch and Lulie, ran into the house and got every toy out they could find.  It was like a bomb went off inside the house before we could even unpack!  They were so happy to be back here.  We all relaxed until we realized that our internet was not working.  For the next five days, James stayed on the phone with our internet company in Lusaka trying to figure out the problem.  Friday morning we realized that when the wind would blow, the signal strength would go up.  So after James went around the fence with a machete chopping anything that was in the line of the satellite.  Then after some thought and a lot of frustration, he realized it was the tree right next to the satellite.  What was funny was that the tree was not anywhere near the line of the satellite.  Or so we thought.  We never imagined that this tree would mess up the signal, it was ten feet to the right of the dish!  Anyway, the Lord gave us answer!  We are so happy to be able to skype! What a blessing it is to be able to have this!  We are excited about the next four months.  Also about the new addition we'll be having in October!

Our garden is doing good and hopefully will be doing much better soon, more about that later!
