Time Flies

As each Friday rolls around, Benedict and I look at each other with amazement that another week has passed. This means that time goes quickly and my writing for this blog isn't as frequent as I would like. So here are a few quick updates:
* We may have had the last of the rain. Last weekend it poured and the maize looks like it will be a bountiful harvest. I'm still not used to the many months without rain. I like all the green so much - better than the brown and dust of the dry season.
* The truck business is going well. When we go by the parking lot in the evening, our hearts sing when we see as many as 20 huge trucks parked for the night, the twinkling lights on the Take-away, and know that the drivers are enjoying their evening at our place.
* The school has only 2 more weeks of the term. It has been a great term and the 60+ new students have adjusted well and love their new school. Our new teachers are dedicated and hard-working and we are so grateful for them.
* The Village looks like a garden with plants and vegetables that the mothers and children have planted. Recent visitors from the Provincial Education Office commented on the joy of the children and the beauty of the Village.
* This week a team from Calvary Christian Reform Church in Holland, MI will be coming for a few days. Starting in the middle of May we will be blessed with 8 teams through the summer - a big work, but a bigger joy.
Thank you for your prayers and gifts and interest in what God is doing here!
