Coming to an end

I only have a couple more days left in africa. My time here has been amazing. I have made a lot of new friendships and seen God in a whole new way! I am very sad to have to leave this place but I hope i will return back here soon. I just have to give alot of credit to the bo'ma ( house mothers) who take care of each and every child likes its there own and then have to give them up when they get adapted.  Also even the worst when they pass away.  Every house mother has a spot for there child in there heart and after seeing how hard it was for one of the house mothers to say good bye to the little one who passed away just showed me how much they go thorugh and how theses kids are theres. Saying good bye to all the kids is going to be hard as i felt like the proud mom to some of them!

Bryan Laury and I will be leaving Monday morning/ early afternoon sometime and there is going to be a march going on for the strike. Shouldnt be Violent but please pray for safe travels for us to Jo Berg and then tuesday we are going to a lion park in the morning and then at night My flight takes offf at 8:20 so please pray for safe travles as I will be traveling back to the states!
Thanks to everyone who has helped make this trip possible for me and I cant wait to show everyone pictures and tell them the amazing stories!

Home!

My time at Beautiful Gate is sadly nearing an end. The past couple weeks have been an eye opening experience and i loved every mintue of it.  I feel like the proud mother sending my preschooler off to school, taking there first day of school picture. Getting kisses from them before they walk out the door and then the smile and wave as they walk out!  Beautful Gate will now forever hold a spot in my heart and so will every child here!  From just playing with the children to going to a funeral God has shown me soo much more to life. Every child here has a story and only god knows what is in store for them. Sometimes i wonder and ask god why. why did the children have to go through this they have done nothing wrong. But i have learned that god is in control and has everthing planned out and im putting all my trust in him!

Well I guess its time for another post.  During the last week alot of the kids at BG got the flu or somekind of bug that was going around.  Not fun to clean up!   That def. made me never want to have my own kids!! SOO GROSS!!!  

Anita and I helped one of the office guys go through the shipment and inventory what all came in the boxes. Anita and I laughed soo hard and never thought John Deer made so many PINK baby outfits!!

We also got to ride in the Geurinks new car ( if they buy it, which i think they will)  friday. Which I can just say was the biggest adventure every.  Got in the car to leave and there was a dead battery  so we had to push start it. Once we were all in Bryan thinks that he big and tough in his new tank so he doesnt think he needs to slow down going over speed bumps or pot holes.  Lets jsut say it was a fun and scary adventure all in one.
