Introducing Rose and Micah, adopted children of Katie and Blake Burchfield who used to work at the Children of the Promise. They are waiting for the visas for their children before they are able to go back to the USA. Katie and Mary had a lot to catch up on about the orphanage. Katie comes from Minnesota and Blake is from Texas. They are living with us at the present time, hoping that all will be ready this week so they may serve God in the US wherever He plants them.

Mary went scrap booking this past Friday and Saturday with a few ladies at the Baptist Mission up the mountain about 40 minutes from our apartment. It was a great getaway and yes, the air is cooler up the mountain, especially during the night. No need for air conditioners there:-)

Last Sonday the staff had their fellowship afternoon in the school chapel. The fellowshipping included singing, a devotional by the Director of the school and good food - pot luck. It is good always to come together to sing and praise the Lord. This time is also a great time for one-anothering those who feel lonely or isolated.
