Our Last Day

I cannot beleive that today is our last day here in Zambia. These two weeks have been just a blessing. Today I spent time working on the property. Unfortunately I was unable to do as must as I would have liked. The paint that is used on the homes is very strong and was not something I could be around due to my asthma. It was in my best interest not participate with that. A lot has been completed though; tile has been placed in the kitchen and bathroom and two rooms and the kitchen has been painted. The roof on the third home will be finished this weekend. All together the mission house, and three childrens homes are standing. It truely is an amazing sight. Last time I was here there was only the property, now there are homes that will forever change the lives of the orphan children. Bishop Peter told me today that all the children came to school with big smiles on their faces with their backpacks filled with all of their goodies. That would have been a great sight to see. He also shared with us how some of the teachers from the conference were sharing their experiences from the week with tears of happiness and greatfulness in their eyes. I am very sad to go. My heart has been touched by the amazing children and teachers of this struggling country. I know my work here it not finished and I look forward to coming again. I pray that the villiage will soon be finished so we can move the children into a safe and loving environment. I thank all of you for your support and prayers and I look forward to sharing more with you.
