Fusion

We are excited to be back with our high schoolers for Fusion. We have quite a few new students since last year, but have had great conversations and they are critically thinking about what they believe and why they believe it. Pray that they would continue to grow in the knowledge of the Lord and pursue Him  








 

Ellie’s birthday party

 Although Ellie’s birthday was nearly 1 1/2 months ago, we finally had time to throw her party. It was such a fun day celebrating our spunky 9 year old 🌺 














Botswana sunsets

 Botswana has some of the most fabulous sunsets. This was outside of my front door 🌅 The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of His hands.



Survivor Party

We celebrated the kids who have survived cancer with a Survivor Party. Thrive (the volunteer org I work with) organized the play station, art station, nail station, cupcake decorating station, and face painting. Such a joy to celebrate alongside of the kids 🩵 









 

Bradyn’s 16th birthday

 So thankful for our Bradyn Hunter who turned 16 years old on October 12. He got to pick all of his favorite foods for his birthday which included molasses cookies, banana pudding, French toast, a Roco mama burger and we had a blast just hanging together. 








Spring time

 Spring in Botswana is so beautiful! Everything is in bloom and the weather is not too excruciatingly hot yet.

My favorite tree is the purple jacaranda that pictures just absolutely don’t do justice.

Music and Art Therapy

I really enjoy my times at the hospital with the kids on the pediatric oncology ward. I have been focusing more on music and art therapy each Tuesday while my friend Lani does play therapy on Thursday. Below is some art work my little friends have produced lately ❤️

Welcome Gunner

We lost all 3 of our dogs over the last year due to old age and sickness. Arriving back home in Botswana, we were missing our fur babies and adopted a Labrador/Golden retriever mix name Gunner (Go Arsenal Gunners!). He has just been the best dog and brought so much joy and he is trying desperately to be friends with the cats 







 

Happy Independence Day 🇧🇼

September 30 is Botswana’s Independence Day and this year marked 60 years of Independence. On that same day, Taylor carried the Botswana Flag for Convocation at Liberty University. We love the country the Lord has called us to 🇧🇼
