Back on the mountain

We had no school this Wednesday so we went back to the mountain.
It is the first time we have been as a whole group. Normally a couple, mostly older boys have school and are unable to go.
This caught my eye. Might make for a cool tattoo. Kind of a little tribal Mike Tyson look.
Vietnam in the Back ground.

Coming back from the quicky mart. One of the fun things about this trip was; a lot of the trees had some sort of fruit on them. The girls where excited to find this vine in one of the fallen walls of the temple.

Tee

These where a lot of fun this trip. The boys spent a lot of time chasing the girls mostly their caretakers who where completely frightened by them.
Richard Hall brought these fun little rocket balloons over, which was a big hit for the day.

After we had done some cleaning we realized we had become a gecko farm to. There where about a dozen more that ended up breaking.
I asked the children if the wanted eggs with their rice that morning.
I also told the cook we could save the kitchen some money because these where free. No one thought my ideas where any good.
For a people who will eat anything I am finding a lot they will not eat.
Since know one wants to eat hard boiled geckos we put them in a clear box to watch them hatch.
We are about a week from Summer and I can not wait. I think I am more excited than the children. The times when I find free time it seems the children are not available to play with. So having them around more will be good for me.
Ream has been pretty excited with the children's bible studies lately. Every since Pastor Pat and Pastor Barry left the children have been eager to ask questions; and really good ones at that.
Like did God change the snake at the garden of Eden when he was cursed to crawl?
Or how can a woman be made and adulterer through her husbands divorcing her?
How come God blessed men with many wives? How was many wives sinful ? Was the man that Killed Saul cursed if Saul was already dying?
I am really excited with their school scores.
We will be making some changes to the children's schedules for the Summer. Also to the programs we have them do. For a little while we will shift their focus to helping with the pigs.
We are working on keeping more pig this year to raise funds to help combat the rising cost that are effecting the world today. Once the pigs are older and begin to produce we will be able to hire a laborer that will just concentrate on animals.
then we will shift the children back into planting.
This Summer we are planning to take the children to the beach again and they are excited about that. I had so much fun with the children last time finding shells and money.
The beach we go to there is always money floating out there and last time a friend found some gold rings. People don't know and go to the beach with every thing on and lose it.
I will take Richards metal detector this time and see what we can see.
You know; as far as I know there are no teams coming this Summer. You could share in all this fun if you wished. Don Gordon at Calvary Chapel Fallbrook could help you get here.
Mary is trying to put out a small news letter update so you should look for that.
Thank you all for your continued support how ever and what ever you are doing we are thankful for it.
God Bless
