It has been crazy with activity as I prepare for heading back to the states in just 36 hours!!! We finished picture days at ALL our 18 Mission of Mercy CarePoints and even gave out some blankets at our 2 non-Mission of Mercy CarePoints today!! It is cold at night so I am happy that our kids can stay a little warmer these nights!!
We have taken 2263 of our 2736 sponsored children's photos doing fun activities!!!! 83% Finished!!

What showers of blessings we are having!!!
On top of these great blessings, we had our first ever "baby shower" for our 7 pregnant (okay 6 pregnant because one already delivered) facilitators on Monday!!! We spoke of what a blessing from God children are and that they are special to Him and we have a responsibility to raise them knowing His love. We had staff pray over each one, got to open gifts (generously provided by Children's Cup and missionaries who donated items to fill the handmade diaper bags)!!! Each of the 7 got a diaper bag, baby carrier, diapers, wipes, baby powder, petroleum jelly, diaper cream, 2 outfits and a crocheted cap! We topped the party off with, of course, cake and punch! It was a fun time to laugh together as one big family (we have almost 40 facilitators total). Enjoy some of the pictures. The ladies were seated by the others in the order they expected the births to come (4 of the 7 are due in June).
Nokhthula “Knock-two-lah”, Dorah, Celiwe “(click)ay-lee-way”, Bethusile “Bay-two-sea-lay”, Clarah, Phindile “Pin-dee-lay” and Khumbuzile “Koom-boo-zee-lay”!
Pink and blue cake!
And prayers of blessings!!
Ready, set, open your bags!!!!
Enjoying a great time together! God is good!! Thankful for our numerous blessings!!!
