Here are few more pictures of our days at Divine Grace. The children have jumped in and helped in all sorts of ways. They are always ready to meet a new friend, and the students at DG gave them a warm welcome. Abigail enjoyed experiencing class at DG and loves worshipping with the children. Since Rachel is so small, she is a bit of a celebrity. Pastor Peter always refers to her as princess. One day at the school we could not find her and someone said she is right over there. Looking over that way all we could see was a group of students , she was surrounded. She said they just kept asking me my name over and over. I really thought it would be easier to find my little muzungu's, but that has not been the case. Elizabeth is just shining here, she is totally in her element! We have also had an experience in the village with Jacob and a little guy that was priceless. When Jacob greeted him his face lit up and he grinned so wide. He jumped up and down and examined and felt Jacob's skin. Jacob was being an ambassador of Christ and it made this momma's heart overflow. Enjoying seeing how God is using each one of us.

  4. Love seeing all of those sweet DivinEEE Grace children. Boy, does it make me miss them ever so much! I am happy your kiddos have FINALLY been able to meet them too. When you ever wanna know my kiddos names...after things settle...I will happily share them with you so that if you cross their path, you can give them a hug from us! Remember how Mary Margaret was a celebrity at Divine Grace, I do believe they had never seen an Asian child before...I think John called her our little Missionary Rock Star! Love you!
