Its seems to have been a while since I have written any updates - sorry for that. Life tends to get pretty busy out here sometimes. The kids are just back to school after a nice long week off for Easter. We only took friday off, but had a good Easter weekend with Wilma & Sylvia and Melvin & Kari Peters. While the kids have been home from school, things have been more off schedule - but its been fun. We've spent more time with the older kids just hanging out and building relationships. We have a cook now (PRAISE GOD) after a long period of other workers taking their turn in the kitchen - cooking for 100 children. We have a good amount of care workers at the moment which is going great. Hopefully they will stay. The washing ladies quit yesterday, so maybe pray for that situation. This means much more work for the other ladies, who already have a fair amount. We've been building relationships with a couple young mothers staying at the centre - its so wonderful just to talk with them (sometimes for hours) about anything and everything. There is a team from Austrailia working at the orphanage right now for a couple weeks. They are building a rain shelter which is coming along quite well! I even helped do some painting which i enjoyed. There are many issues going on within the orphanage right now and much prayer is needed! We are starting prayer meetings once a week now for all of the volunteers at MIS - we know that all of the problems we are having is one big spiritual battle and we need to fight against Satan in prayer. That is the only way. So please keep MIS in your prayers! I have ringworm again, in TWO places this time. Annie has it as well. It doesnt suprise me though considering the conditions we are in everyday - we are constantly exposed to it. Luckily we are only getting the fungai ringworm and not the actual worm. Its much easier to treat and way less ichy. I wish these things could just stop, its so frustrating. If its not one child, its the other. Someone always has something, and someone is always sick. Pray for the health of the children and workers. One more thing. My expenses are greater than anticipated, so i am requesting prayer that my financial needs will be met for the remainder of my stay here in Lesotho. Thank you for all your support and prayers. We serve a great God who loves us and cares for us.

that looks like it shall be a fine rain shelter with the beams and trusses tranfering the load to the colums quite well. The density of the foundation looks to be slightly under spec however. I'll send a nuclear gauge over pronto for soil testing. :)
