Dust In The Wind


Yesterday was a pretty eventful day… we continued to take down the tree and we are almost there with minimal damage. It’s an acacia tree (which is said to be the tree that the crown of thorns that Jesus wore was made of). So, the kids have some scrapes and puncture wounds, but that’s about it.

In the afternoon we went to “Tin City” which is a few miles away in Okahandja to play with some children and then went to the bands performance in one of the Judea Harvest tent churches. The band was amazing and the team really enjoyed playing with the kids and being able to hear the band.

We had another late night looking at the stars and sitting around the camp fire. During the evening 4th of July celebration we had a parade around the property playing “Yankee Doodle” with drums, flute and sparklers. It was a cool moment… I think we woke up the Florida team, but they didn’t come join us… :-)

This morning Team Arandis/Rehoboth has left for Arandis to begin ministering with Brenda Johnston. Colin’s luggage had made it and Team Ondangwa should’ve received theirs also.

Alex says that everything is going great, lots of great photo opportunities… Hope you are not having too much fun without us!!!

Krista says Hi mom, how’s Eloisa & Vicki. Yesterday I went to “Tin City” & had a lot of fun! Hope to hear from you soon!! I love you!! How are my animals?

Naomi says Hey mom… everything is going good!! Glad to hear about Rachel. Mike liked his gift... he still doesn’t know who it was yet. (G is busted though) Say hi to dad, Brian, Trevor, and Rachel for me. Love and miss you guys. (Hi Megan!)

Karen says God love is so extensive over hear, I wish you all could see the beauty of a Namibian sunrise and be “infected” with the dust. Nate miss you like crazy… Love to all!
