Comment on Dinner Guests by Stephanie

Hm. That is a tough one. We eat plenty of pasta, bread, and cheese around here too.

In fact, I’m hard-pressed to think of a meal without those items. Even when we make a main dish salad, we top it with handfuls of cheese!

Best wishes!

3. A sweet friend who obeys God and is always an encouragement to me.

Comment on We are THAT (Furbaby) Family! by krievans

Our dogs are a little hyper which I think contributes to the accidents. Taking steps now to curb some of their enthusiasm.

Africa is awesome! It gets in your heart and you are never the same! Don’t know how long it is to Maun, Botswana, but we used to live in Swaziland and we often had groups fly into Johannesburg, SA and drive into Swazi – flights were cheaper that way.

Your dogs are so cute, but accident prone, eh?
Glad all is well now.

You’re in South Africa!! My daughter served on a month long mission trip to Botswana, Africa the summer before her senior year in high school. They had to fly into South Africa and then ride a bus to Maun. I don’t know how they rode that many hours, but they did it. My niece served in S.Africa three different times. They want to return again someday.

Oh, my! Yep, we were THAT family before kids too. Our dog ate ANYTHING we left out in the kitchen. Including RAW chicken. Yum.

Comment on Bulrushes Home – Uganda by Neave

I have recently returned from Uganda after working in 2 hospitals as a midwife for a month. Iganga hospital and Nsambya hospital. I also had the opportunity to visit bulrushes for the day, it was amazing. We also visited the Watoto village where these babies go once they are over 2 years old and the houses in which they will live in. It is a wonderful project, very inspiring and i hope i will be able to visit again one day.
