March came in like a Lion!

March has come and gone so quickly. We

have been doing so many things this month.

Daily devotions by our internsare payingoff. The boys' dorm bathroom renovations

are in full swing. Our toddlers are really

developing. House visits were hard to come

by due to rain but we had one great day.

Devo it UP!

Our Tear Fund Interns are

simply AWESOME! Mon-

Thurs at 6:30am, they are Biblestorying with our kids. They

began in Gen 1:1& are up to

Joseph & his coat of many

colors. On Mon & Wed

evenings, they do longer Bible

storys. This is teaching our kids

the importance of a daily quiet

time. Also the kids' prayer lives

are becoming more personal

with God.

"For I was sick and you

looked after me...

Matthew 25:36

March was a very rainy month.

Roads were impassable for

several weeks but we asked our

church to pray for better weather

& the Lord heard our pleas.

Tuesday we were able to go on

house visits. We met a man

named Philani (Pee-lan-ee) who

was recovering from medication

side effects. After treating him,

our intern Sam shared his

testimony. I explained John 14:6

to Him and told him Jesus is the

only way. Philani prayed to

receive Christ! Pray for Philani

and our follow up time with him.

great learning one-on-one time with our interns. On Mon, Wed, and Friday

the interns do a preschool time. The kids color, build with Legos, or learn

new songs duringthis time. Their little personalities are really developing

now.

Building a better bathroom

The boys dorm bathroom

renovation is in full swing.

Thomas met with the

contractor and plumber this

month. They have completed

the tiling of the boys

bathroom and replaced the

ceiling tiles. Fixtures are in

also. April 1-13, a 4 man

team from the States comes

boy's wing bedrooms.

Baking like Betty

CrockerInspired by a local

volunteer, each Wednesdaywe take 3 girls home. I

teach them how to fix

dinner for their future

family. We learn to follow a

recipe, measure ingredients,

set the table, etc... Then the

children eat dinner as a part

of our family. We make amean Poppy Seed Chicken

Casserole!

An Elizabeth UpdateElizabeth continues to thrive here in South Africa. She is one of the top

kids academically in her class. She enjoys volunteering at Tabitha and

as a youth volunteer at our church. She helped out this Sunday at Hilton

Baptist when we were a few Sunday school teachers short. She is still a

joy to hang out with. I am one proud Mom as you can see.

He plays the position of left

is much like a corner

starts 8th grade.
