From Kim Sunday July 9th

Hi Everybody,
Sorry it has taken me soooo long to write, but we have been very busy… making friends, mixing concrete, moving cement blocks, singing songs, and seeing so many new and amazing things. To our Moms and Dads and our St. Barnabas’s family don’t worry about the kids, Jaymie and Matt are adjusting to things very well. Jaymie has made a friend (an 8 year old girl who is part of the care taker’s family) and Matthew is enthralled with the way the sheep and goats run free and wander down the road.
We are very blessed, this team of people is incredible … some of us have been faced with some challenges, some physical, some mental but we are leaning on each other and trusting in God in ways we never would have had to in Canada … there is no doubt we will be 17 different people when we get home.
The other night we got stuck in a traffic jam after a very long day but even though we were tired and in desperate need of a washroom we started to sing. At first we sang to take our minds off of the intense Ghanaian driving style and our bladders but we soon realized what a Great comfort it is to sing Praise to our God in the midst of trial (we were doing this so long Nadia joked that we would need to start singing Christmas Carols) when we finally got home for supper sometime after 9pm we were all laughing and having a great time.
Thank You all for your Prayers they are doing amazing work … In the Peace of Christ Kim.
p.s. Jen I finally found my Peppermint tea tonight so I had a cup and thought of you.
Oh and thanks to everyone who is posting comments on the blog we all love them
(Dawn the weather is not too bad at all, very doable) K);

Well what can I say? I'm glad to hear from you, but in my insane sister way, I wish you were here :-)
Glad to know the weather is doable and I hope Matt is eating his share. I said a prayer for you all the other night and it was a great comfort just to get the words out, knowing that they would be heard. Anyway, you know how I can ramble so I'll try not to do so here.
Love to you all and keep up the good and blessed work.
Love me :-)

Hi Kim and Jason, it's great to hear from you. We are keeping your grandparents updated as to what you are doing and they all send their love. Mom and Dawn went to Ashley's shower on Sunday afternoon and had a good time. It's been quite warm and muggy here, between thunder storms.
Glad to hear that the kids are making some freinds, and that you are watching them.
Love and peace, Mom and Dad

The Spirit has been giving me lots of insight into what to pray for you guys. Keep up that great ministry.

Also, say hi to both those from Canada and Ghana on my behalf.

HUGS!
