Well, what can I say...we have survived our first weekend with the boys. Weekends are the hardest because they are with us all day, we are looking forward to tomorrow when they go to school from 8am to 4pm. The boys, Matthew, Owen, Timothy, Joshua, Ezra, Mark, Paul and Richard joined us on friday night. It was a hectic day of preparation getting furniture and supplies etc but we made it. They are good boys but quite demanding and very LOUD when they talk as that is what they are used to, it will take us some time to quieten them down, and they are very FULL-ON. There is a lot of sickness here with Piet (papa) having malaria and Aunty Mariska with a troublesome appendix as well as baby Judith still just hanging on to life so please pray for them all.
We are getting used to being called Aunty Marilyn and Uncle Warwick and if we go anywhere near the children's home we always have two or three children hanging on.
Have purchased several things to make our life more comfortable here, a gas oven & stove, a microwave, a washing machine, and a double mattress (at last), it is a bit like setting up home all over again.
PLease continue to pray for us as the boys settle in, we had 4 wet beds last night and hoping for none tonight, we feel we are able to make a difference in the lives of these boys but it will not be without its moments.
Our love to you all.
