Where did November Go?

Hello all, sorry for the lack of posts in November! It was a month of business and change. 

School officially ended for the last group of students on the 19th and we had a little party for our grade R (kinder) to grade 3 students! It was fun with good food and dancing of course! Then everyone else got the yummy treats to celebrate!! 

Since then children have been leaving for the Holidays! Some found permanent new homes and others will return in January. It’s a mixed bag of emotions to see them leave, but over all God's got them and they will be loved for the precious children they are! Number wise we went from 105 to a little less then 30 by the second week of December!!! 

Iz and I got to attend another Ellel Ministry class over Thanksgiving Weekend. We enjoyed our mini holiday and are extremely thankful for our home, friends and family who love and support us from ‘home’ and for all the children here! We made our own little dinner of ham (couldn’t find turkey at the little store), green beans and mash potatoes! Then I pretended a croissant was a biscuit ;) 

We are excited for our first Christmas abroad! - and also for Skype ;) We are so blessed and then end of this month marks a full 6 months of being in Africa! Thank you Lord for your provisions and promises!! 

Have such an amazing Holiday Season Everyone!!
