I only have a few moments to write today because the whole team is going to work on the kitchen. We will paint and lay all the tile--pray for a productive day of hard labor!
Yesterday, we were able to visit Morning Star; this a daycare and preschool for HIV positive children. We took a tour and while we were there, a group of children performed several songs for us. I am posting a video of this--sorry the quality is so poor. Hopefully you get the idea!
Marvin, Dawn, Holly, and I took the children swimming in the afternoon. It is so much fun to play in the pool with them! There isn't actually much room for swimming when 13 children and 4 adults climb in the pool, but the lack of space doesn't diminish the fun!
Thank you for praying for Holly. She is much improved today; the medication is definitely helping! She isn't 100 percent yet, but she's well on her way. She was glad to finally be able to play with the kids again.
Last night, everyone gathered in the dining room for Lois' birthday celebration. Dawn made one of her famous ice cream cakes, and it was a hit! After cake, we all moved to the living room to watch Lois open all her gifts. Everyone decided that the best gift of all came when Cebesile took her first steps! We all clapped and cheered when she toddled over to Brian all by herself! I will try to get some video of this and post it for you all tomorrow--to think, six months ago she couldn't even sit up or feed herself alone. Now, she is walking! Praise the Lord!
Sorry for the short entry today, but Bob has made me his right hand for the day, so I have to go! Love you all!

Glad Holly is feeling better and praying that she will soon be all well. What a great gift for Lois to have that little one's first steps on her birthday. God is so good.
