Much to pray for

CAM 2011 Seniors with us at the park taking their grad pictures

It has been awhile since we updated our blog.  We have been so busy since Easter time and have not had the opportunity to write.  On May 4^th we took all seven seniors to a beautiful park in town and took their grad photos.  I had ironed all the grad gowns so they could have a photo wearing their gown and cap.  While I ironed I spent time praying over each of the seniors and asked the Lord to lead and guide them in the next chapter of life. Each senior had several changes of clothes and we had a great time taking the photos.  We asked some friends to come and help with the photos.  It would have taken us hours otherwise.  Here is a photo with us and the grads.  Aren’t they a great looking bunch?!

Dynamic Women Team with Aimee Howarth in Kruger Park

OMS has a fairly new ministry called Dynamic Women.  They encourage women to sign up for trips to the various countries where OMS has work so they can see the work and spend time with the people involved in the various ministries.  Our Mozambique team was able to host a group of six women from the U.S.  We actually knew four of the six and one of them was one of our supporters from Sequim, WA.  It was a blessing to have Gail Watson come and visit us and see the different things we are involved in here.  Our colleague, Aimee was in charge of the team, but Larry was able to help drive the ladies through Kruger Park.  They saw lots of animals and actually saw the “Big Five” all in one day.  (Lion, leopard, rhino, cape buffalo, and elephant) 

We only have 13 days left of school.  Graduation is on Monday, May 30^th.  The last day of classes is June 1^st and we have our clean up day and awards assembly on June 2^nd.  The days are flying by and we can hardly keep up with all the activities. 

Next Saturday is our school picnic which is traditionally held where we are building the new school.  We wanted to get more of the classrooms ready so the parents can get a good view of what the school is going to be like when they are there for the picnic.  We scheduled another work day on the 14^th and this time we had six students and six staff from school come and help.  We were able to prime and paint three large rooms and prime two other rooms.  The work goes quickly when there are many hands to help.  We are very tired and sore, but happy to see all the progress. 



Yea!  We are graduating in just 15 days

 We appreciate your continued prayers for our seniors as they make plans for their futures, and for the progress of the new school.  There is so much to accomplish and we trust the Lord to make it all possible to start the new school year by August.
