Beautiful Gardens


Beautiful Gardens is a rental house project that will help sustain the everyday funds of Beautiful Gate. There will be nine houses on the property available for rent.




The first unfurnished house that has been built.


Each house will be complete with plumbing and running water. Even the guardhouse ;)




As funds are raised the rest of the houses will be built.

Black Rhino Safari


After spending some time at Beautiful Gate with Dad and Ken we headed North to Pilanesberg, South Africa. We stayed at Black Rhino lodge for two days and went on a sunset and sunrise safari.

We Have Visitors!!!!

Steve and Ken arrived in Lesotho Friday morning around 7:30. It was so great to see them and welcome them with our hugs!


Steve and Ken checking up on our blog ;)



After a great morning of worship at Victory church we went out for lunch at Maseru Sun.


Baylor Clinic Trip



This past Wednesday we had the opportunity to take two children to Baylor clinic with their house moms for a regular check up. We had a great time with the kids and even made some new friends after bringing out the coloring books that we had packed.  


This is Baylor Clinic. A very modern medical facility in Lesotho that attracts hundreds of mothers and their children everyday.

Mountain Hike


Throughout this trip we have experienced many incredible experiences. On a Sunday afternoon a week or so back Benno and Wendy (the current directors filling in) invited us to go on a hike up a nearby mountain with two of the oldest boys at the orphanage.
