Some of our dear friends, Dayne and Natascha, pastor a church here in Gaborone called Crosspoint Family Church. They invited us to come and share about our work here in Botswana. We just love these sweet friends and they are doing a great job leading this church. They just had a precious little baby 2 months ago and we have so enjoyed cuddling sweet Aviah. Ellie doesn’t quite understand why she can’t jump in the trampoline with her yet but one day...
I recently posted that my friend Henda taught me how to make rusks. Ellie and I had a go of it on our own and they turned out great. We made white chocolate/cranberry and honey/almond rusks
Brent and Bradyn signed up for a 21km (13 miles) bike ride and then we saw the weather forecast...RAIN!!! And where there is rain, there is mud which makes a bike ride even more difficult. Bradyn won 3rd place in the under 12 group and won a medal and a $15 prize...we are so proud of him!!
We did manage to find a Turkey this year and had Aunt Mary’s stuffing balls, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn casserole, green beans, and rolls. By the time we finished the apple pie and pumpkin pie, we were all ready to be rolled out the door
We truly have so much to be thankful for throughout 2020 with Covid19. Here’s what the kids all said they were thankful for:
Ellie-Family, Jumping in puddles, Christmas, and coloring
Bradyn-Rope, bike, Bo and Kasey (our dogs), and Pokey (his hedgehog)
Taylor-Family, Zoom calls, pizza, friends
We had a wonderful visit today with the kids from Gaborone Baptist church. We have to visit them all at their homes as we are not able to meet in a large group due to Covid.
With money from Brent’s Aunt Mary, I went and picked up some coloring books, devotionals, crayons, coloring pencils, and some lollipops. The kids were so excited!! Thanks, Aunt Mary, for blessing them with these gifts ❤️ we visited about 70 kids today and shared the Christmas story with them all. You are a blessing, thank you!!!
