I was ready for the children to go back to school we have been so busy with them home. Then the first day I miss them and the place is to quiet.
We had a pretty good summer helping the children advance for this year. 3 of our children are skipping a grade to get them caught up. All the children are proficient in the grade they are going to. And our two little ones age 5 started 1st grade.
They children learned a traditional dance about the harvest.
Some started to learn play guitar, drums and flutes.
We are still looking for a piano and a traditional violin teacher.
They got to go to the beach, zoo and some old ruined temples.
Some of them celebrated their first birthday ever.
They also received their incentive prizes for this quarter.Our animals a producing,
We had 12 baby pigs and the market is very good to sell right now.
We had 7 baby rabbit be born.
And three baby ducks.
Also our fish in 2 months have grown 8 inches.
We have had some staff changes again probably not the last time either.
Peah is on the Left and Own is on the RightHere is a picture of our 2 new girls and their care taker.
They names are Jon and On. So we are up to 5 now and waiting for more.
Bible programs have started again. We had a little brake due to the dance teacher.
We played some games during the birthday party.
We had teams where they had to pass the bottle from one bucket to the next using their mouth which was a lot of fun for them.
We also played a traditional New Year game. Instead of using the game board we used our selves running from one place to another rolling cubes to see who won some candy.
We are trying to make it home in January I believe but we will see. Staff and teams will play a part in when we go. We would like to be home for a month because it seems after two years there is a lot to do.
Ream’s sister is in the states right now living in Pennsylvania for a year learning Administration skills. We hope she will make it out the same time we are there.
Things here at the orphanage are going really well, the country also seem to be improving. The big scary election is around the corner, but it is being down graded from scary. The political parties have spilt back into groups they came from with a few new ones.
Also the country is trying to control some Christian groups. Their have been a few bad representatives here that are making it hard on others.
We have known for quite a while you can not really street whiteness here. You can but it has to be really low key. If you do not harass people or create a seen and you’re fine. You also should avoid doing it around temples or government buildings like the palace.
I think all is fine.
I have seen some groups in America that I thought should be ban. They where caring coffins and crosses telling people are were going to hell and burn. It was a very shocking display for me to see.
The government is making news by cracking down on NGO that are profiting or taking advantage of people or the government.
We have had to speak with local officials about being Christian and what we do. At first it seemed scary. With all of this happening this month it seems that the place might go communist again. But doing that is suicide for them. They would throw themselves back into very bad poverty and it is bad already.
I know there is way too much money coming in for them to close the doors. These same reports and problems where in the news back in 1999.
What we have to pray is that the good upright Christians are protected and are not affected by the people stepping out of line. There is plenty of good work going on and the harvest is being reaped.
Over all we can hope to see the Government continue to improve and it relations with Christian groups continue to grow.
Sorry for being to political or anything like that. There has been some concerns out there about what is happening and I do not think it is much to worry about right now.
Thanks for taking time to look and keeping involved.
