Ellie Lost her 1st tooth

 My last baby has lost her 1st tooth. It was many tears and barely hanging in there, but she did it and was so happy afterwords. 

She wanted to see her new smile

Babies ❤️

We recently traveled to Johannesburg, South Africa for some medical appointments. We were able to spend some  time with our goddaughter Aviah and meet her newest little sister Azaleah. 

We were also able to visit with the Lancaster family who welcomed their newest little one Quincy Kaye. Their kiddos are some of Ellie’s nearest friends in the world so Ellie’s tank (and ours too)  was filled getting to see all of these special friends. 

Aviah loved hugging Bradyn

Seminary Graduation

The Baptist Convention Seminary of Botswana just hosted their 5th Graduation of students obtaining their Certificate of Theology. These students have worked so hard over the last year…we are so proud of their accomplishment!

Botshelo was the Valedictorian 🎉

Camping trip

Life has been incredibly busy, so we took a few days and snuck away camping in the Tuli Block of Botswana at the Limpopo River Lodge with some dear friends. It was a relaxing time on the river doing some fishing and kids being kids and getting filthy dirty.

 

Africans Reaching Africans

Last year Brent helped to lead one of our first international mission trips of ‘Africans reaching Africans’  and went to Rundu, Namibia to engage with the Kwangali People Group who were considered Unreached and Unengaged. 83 people gave their lives to the Lord and many other seeds were planted.

This year Brent was not able to go, but our amazing Journeygirls were able to take 3 Batswana with them to share the gospel in Rundu, Namibia and the surrounding villages.  The Lord did such a mighty work and so many came to know Jesus and were trained how to share the gospel with others.  To God be all the glory! 

Ellie’s play

We love that our kids have amazing schools they can attend here in Botswana. Ellie recently was in a play at school and got to be the cutest mushroom from Super Mario 😊
