Counting my blessings

Daddy and Justice getting ready to play in the rain


A pretty blue lizard; one of the more 'exotic' animals we've seen around our place.


Another exotic animal here...... oh wait, it's only Justice and one of our fellow missionaries kitties :-)

It's been great to have Rodney home for several weeks as we are still getting settled in to our house here in Bunia. Next week, he leaves on Tuesday morning for Uganda where he and another pilot will complete an inspection on our Cessna 206 airplane. He will return to Bunia on Thursday afternoon, Lord willing. This is one of the many reasons why I am blessed to have a great team of friends here as I am still working on figuring out how to cook from scratch, run our generator, keep tabs on our batteries that run our house, pump rain water from our bottom tank to our top tank when it rains, etc. (They didn't tell the wives that we needed an electrical course before we arrived). I am also blessed to have a husband who can do all of the aforementioned items, install shower curtain rods, hang mosquito nets over the beds, keep tabs on our water and power situation..... (none of this is as easy as it sounds here in Africa). I am blessed to have the wonderful encouragement of prayers and notes from family and friends back home in the States. And I am blessed to have two children, the second of whom we look forward to meeting in May. Count your blessings today :-)
