Sorry for being late, but late is better than never. Anyway, every year around December 25, we do a special Christmas program and dinner for our students, teachers, and villagers. Enjoy the pics! […]
Comments Off on Christmas for Everyone Continue Reading...This took place one week later and closer to our school. We took a 2 kilometer hike up to a view point which overlooked the valleys below us and also looked up to the highest peak closest to us. Take a look: […]
Comments Off on Another Mountain Adventure Continue Reading...In late November, our family of 4 plus 4 student missionaries and our cook, decided to go on a high mountain adventure on the road that goes to BYT (Biyotah–a Karen village where Tharamu Gayle Haberkam works). We greatly needed some R&R. So after breakfast we all jumped into the car, went to a nearby […]
Comments Off on High Mountain Adventure Continue Reading...Sorry for posting this so late. But a lot of things have been happening. In early December our dorms were finally finished! So we wanted to dedicate these new dorms to the Lord before the students moved into them. Here are some pictures of that event: […]
Comments Off on Dedication of New Dorms Continue Reading...I have seen many scary auto accidents and have told myself that I don’t ever want to be in one of those kind of accidents. But God’s ways and plans are not always our ways and plans. We may not understand now why He allowed the accident to happen, but we can trust in Him […]
Comments Off on Thankful for God’s Protection Continue Reading...Well, time has a way of flying faster than I realize some times. Or maybe it’s not that I don’t realize how fast it’s going by, but that I just can’t make everything keep up with the pace of it. In any case, Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is approaching–and you’re probably wondering what is […]
Comments Off on Because We Couldn’t Do It Without You Continue Reading...It’s been a long day–mostly of sitting. We sat for most of the morning in the hospital (in the larger city of Maesot, two hours south of Sunshine Orchard). We did get some walking on the streets, but we’ve been sitting again for a few hours while we wait for the car to be fixed. […]
Comments Off on How could Jesus pray so much? Continue Reading...(written Thursday, Oct 16) It probably sounds repetitive, but I’m really not sure what to write about. I’m sitting on the floor in my house with a little handy-capped boy named DweeMaySaw crawling around and making happy comments about everything while ChitChitWay is enjoying some down time sitting in the hammock and playing guitar. It’s […]
Comments Off on Done and Not Done Continue Reading...I’ve heard that things are best told in pictures. The truth is that seeing things with your own eyes is what you will remember the longest and understand the best. But since I know that most of you will never walk on this land, I want to give you a picture. More than a picture […]
Comments Off on Branches (Satellite Schools) Continue Reading...Praise the Lord, the construction of our dorms is nearing completion. Progress has been slow recently in the rainy season, but we are eagerly looking forward to the day when the girls and boys can move into better living quarters. Here is a glimpse of the girls’ dorms at this point (you can barely see […]
