We praise God for the perfect day He gave us to celebrate Children's Day on Sunday! It is traditionally the first day of swimming but with the cold and rainy weather we've had, we all had doubts if it would be warm enough to swim. God blessed us with a hot and sunny day...and our kids have a healthy glow to prove it! Close to 150 people came from our church and the colony to join us for lunch and a day of fun and fellowship. There was a water slide for the little ones and the soccer field and basketball court were in constant use. Mike added a balance beam to the deep end of the pool and the kids had a blast trying to make it to the other side without falling off. Of course, it turned into more of a challenge when we gave them jousting sticks! Thank you for praying for our kids!

I'm always so impressed with the love that I see being POURED onto these children. Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving your life to them.... from all of those up here in the states that are always wishing we could do more. Thank you for being brave and so selfless to live there and smother these precious children with love and guidance.
