<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We made it home! We arrived back in Grand Rapids last week Monday around 2 pm. We are so grateful for this experience and all of the love, support, and prayers we received over the past several months! We have tons of stories and pictures that we can't wait to share with all of you. This coming Sunday, the 20th we will be talking about our experience at Beautiful Gate and the memories we have made there. Please join us at Graafschap CRC in the sanctuary at 7:30pm (after the evening service) for our presentation and cake to follow. We would love to see you there! Thanks again for all you have done for us!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">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.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My house mom is Mme Mamatela! I have been helping her out in Khosto 2 for the past two months. She is such a joy to work with and so full of love! I have learned so much from her about Lesotho and her culture. My favorite memory with her is the night we got all the kids tucked into bed, sat down to talk, and prayed together. It was an amazing experience and so good to know that the women taking care of these precious children seek wisdom from our incredible Lord and Savior. She has been such an encouragement to me! Mme Mamatela is out of town for a week, so once we have permission we will be sure to post a picture.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In Lesotho it is considered a privilege to receive a Sesotho name from a native. The name is only given after the native Basotho gets to know you well enough and notices a special God given characteristic that they notice in you daily. We were both blessed with that privilege over the last 2 months. The house moms and children now call us by our Sesotho names on a regular basis. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have been helping Mme Maryam for the last two months in Khotso 1. Mme spends 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, caring for 15 incredible little children who she loves unconditionally and considers each one her own. After spending time with her and getting to know her, I have taken away so much about life and the things that are most important. I have seen patience beyond belief, dedication beyond compare and love that knows no end. She has a great sense of humor and is such a blessing to Beautiful Gate and more specifically to the 15 little ones who call her Mom in Khotso 1. </span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> There is something about a child’s eyes that finds a way of
getting to your heart. While some are happy and some are sad at times, there is
a story that makes each one who they are. Looking into the eyes of the children
at Beautiful Gate one thing is clear, there are many stories represented
through each child. Some eyes are bright, full of curiosity and energy, while
others are tear filled and seeking love. Over the past two and a half weeks so
many children have found a direct route to our hearts. Some of whom we have
been told their stories while others simply raise their arms looking for a hug
and someone to play with.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Last Sunday the pastor here talked about striving to have a
heart after God’s own heart. After hearing the message and just thinking about
how much God cares for each of his children it hit me to think about how God
looks at each of his children here. How at times his heart may break after
seeing what his child is going through and yet other times how he smiles when
He gives a child a new life and new hope for the future. He is molding each one
and seeking out their hearts so that one day they may know Him and rest in the
assurance of His plan from their past and all that has made it to their future
and all that He will make it. It is my prayer that we strive each day to have a
heart after God’s own heart as we are here at Beautiful Gate and also after we
travel back home. </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #e69138;">We are finally getting all settled in with our daily routines. We both were
assigned to a baby house watching over about 15 children. We start at 7 in the
morning serving breakfast to the kiddos. At 8 the older children go to an
English Medium preschool and primary school right near campus. Then Jesse and I
hang out with the infants, feeding, playing, and putting them down for a nap in
each of our houses. Once lunch is done, all the kids rest up and then head out
to playgroup. During playgroup the kids run around outside playing on the toys,
showing off their soccer skills, and soaking up all the hugs they can get.
After about an hour and a half the kids go back to their houses for baths, dinner,
and playtime. Bedtime is usually around 6 or 7 and then we say goodnight to the
housemoms. By the end of the night Jesse and I are pretty tired. We have so
much respect for the housemoms. They do a wonderful job and love the kids very
much! One of my favorite parts of the day is to watch the children say their
prayers before they eat. It just reminds me that God is the one who created
these precious children and he provides for every one of their needs.<o:p></o:p></span></span>Jesse and Shelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00865633345975101780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039311540031437717.post-75383200543080609692013-08-08T10:53:00.001-07:002013-08-14T12:53:27.951-07:00We Made It!<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

worthwhile it is to be with these kids and see the smiles on their faces. After
now having spent a full day here it has been an incredible experience getting
to know the children and some of their stories. It is a blessing to see how

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> We want to say thank you so much for all or your support both spiritually and financially over the last few months. It is amazing to see how much God has blessed us in so many ways already before we have even taken off. As of last week Sunday both Shelby and I met our fundraising goals and surpassed them providing us with the opportunity to donate the extra funds to the operating expenses at Beautiful Gate. God has been evident throughout this entire process and we firmly believe that anything is possible with Him when its in His timing! We could not have done this without all of you. Thank you! Our bags are now packed and our flight is scheduled to leave tomorrow night at 7:20 pm. We are looking forward to what God has in store for us over the next 2 months. Tomorrow we will be taking off out of Grand Rapids and flying to Chicago. From there we head straight to London where we have an 8 hour layover. After which we will take off for Johannesburg. From Johannesburg we have a short flight to Maseru, Lesotho. We hope to arrive in Maseru at 10:40 am Lesotho time (6 hours ahead of Michigan time) on August 6. We would appreciate your prayers during the next few days if possible as there will be a lot of flights to catch and time spent on airplanes and in airports. We know that we are not going into this alone and that it is all planned out based on what God has in store! Thank you again for all you have done in making this trip possible for us! We pray that God will work in us and through us during our time in Lesotho.</span></div>

Here is the link if you are interested <a href="http://jesseandshelby.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://jesseandshelby.<wbr></wbr>blogspot.com</a>. Feel free to pass this on or if you would like to continue receiving e-mail updates we can gladly do that as well, Thanks!) </span></div>
