Africa in Photos

Here are a few recent photo I thought you all might enjoy. Thanks for stopping by!

Gabe asked me why I needed more family photos, but when our family is only together three times a year, a family photo means a lot to this mama!

Outside in our garden

Progress on our house! This is actually the garage that they are working on right now.

They are getting ready to lay the floor and start building the walls.

Lots and lots of bricks.

We spent our last day off at the beach with the kids.

 Love this view of the Indian Ocean! 

Mel and Mandy, from England, are working with us and have started a new women's class and prayer time out in one of the villages.

We are very blessed for them to be here with us.

Here I am at the end of my deadline. . .just kidding. Not me, but I am excited to be almost done with my next romantic suspense that's due September 1st. Next I'll be jumping into book two of my Revell series, the first of which comes out next year.

Be blessed,

Lisa

Snapshots

Hanging out.

 I've been feeling a bit sentimental lately. A big part if it comes from having my oldest home from boarding school. I LOVE having him back. But it also makes me realize how much I miss him when he's gone. It's hard to complain, though, when I realize how much he loves school, and how wonderful it has been for him. So while I've been quiet--at least when it comes to blogging and FB--I've been soaking up my family being together, and making sure I don't let these days disappear without my completely enjoying them.

Question for you: What did you enjoy the most this summer break? (Or winter break for my friends in the southern hemisphere!) A memorable trip, an accomplishment, time with family, a good book? I'd love to hear from you!

The end of summer. . .

When I read my Facebook posts, it seems that summer is finally coming to an end. Vacation is ending, school will be starting soon, and hopefully the weather will begin cooling off.

Well. . .things have been a bit different on our side of the world. 

*It's finally cool enough for me to function with winter here. Perfect weather, actually. 

*Forget summer break. We've just finished a whirlwind season hosting five, short-term mission teams from the US, Brazil, and South Africa. 

*School is. . .almost over. The kids have been working hard and will finish up the end of next week!

*We spent the last week working hard converting our school room--which was converted to a storage unit when our team mates arrived earlier this year--to a small apartment for Mel and Mandy who will also be working with us. They will be staying here until the electricity is put into the house we've built for them 

out at the land.

*In the meantime, work on our house continues with the foundation pretty much finished!

*Ministry: We had three more baptisms this past week. We praise God for the way He is moving, and how He used the recent groups to add to our ministry.
