Work Permits

We are needing to get approved for our work permits before the officials leave for the end of the year. Our current visa expires on Dec 24th. If we are still waiting for it to come in when our visa we now have expires then we have to leave the country. We are looking into options just in case if we do have to leave but we really would rather not have to leave so we can stay here and do some things with the kids during the break and things like that. So please keep this in your prayers.

Turning 1!!!!!!

So Sammie is now 1 year old. It has been exciting to see her grow and learn. She is getting so big and we just wanted to share some of that with you.We never really knew what a huge blessing it would be to become parents. We constantly are in awe of how great she is! .
She loved her cake and really ate most of it. Not much ended up on her face. I can say that she is a Mustion, she LOVES her cake! The other day during our class we had her Auntie Theo watch her and Theo had some cake and so Sammie got her eyes on it and grabbed it and shoved in her mouth as fast as she could!
She is at the stage now where she says the cutest things. Here when you say goodbye they say "Ta Ta" well the other day we were leaving a store and Sammie looks at the clerk and says,"Ta Ta!". She is so much fun.
She is not quite walking yet, she's kind of a chicken(she's a chicken). She can do it but just won't let go of our hands. She'll get in between Adam's legs and hold on and walk with her little head poked through. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen.
Joy really is a great middle name for her because she really is a Joy not only to us but to everyone she comes into contact with. It's really cool to see God using her in this way already! We can not wait to see what He has in store for her life!

Work at CHS

Tutoring has been my (Adam’s) major job here at CHS. I have recently also picked up doing the bookkeeping. I really enjoy working with the kids on a personal basis and to really get to know them and know what they are going through in their lives. Here at CHS we have been concerned about a meningitis outbreak in the Katutura area. There has been a mass vaccination for meningitis and we are hoping that this will be coming to an end soon. We have also started the choir with grade 1 & 2. Sara is a big help in this and she loves working with the kids and getting to know them better. The kids are learning the songs quickly and we are having fun with them while learning.

Catch up!!!

So sorry this is way over due. So we have a lot of catching up to do. This will be a little pieces of a lot of stuff that has gone on since the last time. The reason that we haven't posted very often is because internet isn't as easy to come by here. It is expensive and so we wake up between 1am and 5am to use the free internet time. So that is why I am up doing this right now.
It is now getting into summer here and it is getting hot. Just last week it actually rained for the first time since we have been here.
Also there is meningitis going around Katutura so we have been concerned about that for a while but i guess it was going around since June. So I (Adam) got the shot for it and we are just being cautious.
We are doing a choir with Grade 1 & 2. It has been interesting teaching them and we are teaching them Christmas songs for our Christmas program. We are very excited for it and are having a good time working with them.
We are so thankful for all the support that we have been getting from you and the prayers that you are offering up for us. We can so happy that you are part of our team.
More post will be coming so please be patient with us and we will try to update this a bit more often but we will be letting you know what else is going on.

Back to school

We are just getting off of the holiday break and now back to school. During the holiday Adam got sick but is much better thanks for all the prayers. I (Adam) an doing tutoring at school and have been working with kids that are having behavioral problems and are distracting other students. It is a challenge but rewarding when you see them begin to grasp some things thy are needing to learn. We are excited that we are going to start a childrens choir this term also. Sorry it has been so long since the last post but internet is not as easy to get here. This post is from my phone so please excuse spelling errors. We will try to post things more often. Hope things are well where you are. We miss you all and look forward to hearing from you.

Community Hope School

 

Now, First week!!

So we are here and things are busy. We have to furnish our house and we don't have a vehicle. So it is hard to get things going. We are getting close on a truck i think so i hope that it will pick up pace soon and we will finally be in our house. We spent a few hours there today getting some things ready to move in and we are excited to finally have a place again. We are hoping to have some sort of internet soon so we can talk to you soon but not sure about it yet. So we will try to get on here soon again to talk to you all. Sorry this is short but it is almost midnight here and I have to get some sleep. Talk to you all later.
