Last Week/Prayer Requests

It is hard to believe that in a week from today we will be packing up our things here in Africa and heading back home. It is amazing how fast time goes. Everyday for the last two months have been packed full of countless blessings and unforgettable memories. It is amazing to see God at work when you intentionally watch for him and in a sense "see these children through his eyes." We have fallen in love with all of the children at Beautiful Gate. Each child is so perfect in their own way as they seek love, attention, hugs and someone to share stories with and climb on. It will be hard to say goodbye as we have been together just about everyday we have been here. It is tough knowing how much they have impacted us already knowing we will realize it even more after we are gone. We pray that this will not be goodbye forever but simply goodbye until we get to see them again one day.

Our Prayer Requests-  

-For health this last week so that we can spend as much time with the kids as possible.

-For the children who have been matched and will be leaving Beautiful Gate within the next few months.

-For the children who have not been matched and are waiting for a forever family to come along.

-Prayers for rain in Lesotho as water supply is becoming an issue.

-For us when it comes time to say goodbye to the children and staff.

-To help it be a smooth transition back home after everything we have experienced here.

-Safety for our travels back home.

-For guidance in terms of where God is leading us in the future.
