“THE PROCESS IS THE END. FOR IT IS THE PROCESS THAT IS GLORIFYING TO GOD.” --Oswald Chambers

"This life therefore, is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed." --Martin Luther

newsy stuff

We have a new gal helping us! Did I say that already? I really don’t remember anymore. Her name is Vanessa and she just finished grade 12. She lives across the river, so once the next rainy season comes, we’ll have to see what happens, but that is a way off. Right now she is here 8:30 to 12:30 each day just keeping things straight and dishes done. She could probably stay all day to get everything done. After summer teams are done, she’ll stay longer and cook and clean up lunch too. Lori and Paul will then be staying with us too, so she’ll probably help with laundry as our washing machine barely keeps up with us, let alone two more people! From the first day I knew she was coming, I have felt a lot less frazzled!
FINALLY….we are all done with our vehicle work!! It is in our name, the certificates are done, and everything else! The only other personal business we know have is to get our alien registration cards, which we can do in Chongwe one morning.
Witness’s wife had her baby a few weeks ago. We haven’t made it to visit yet, just haven’t had the time! Her name is Greta. A long time ago our Greta told Witness it was Brian if a boy and Greta if a girl. Then Patrick’s wife had a baby and Greta said she could be Greta too. We never saw Witness after that to tell him, so now there are three Gretas!
Ever been driving along the road all alone? Like really alone? Like no one walking on the side or riding bike? No one for miles? Well, that doesn’t happen here. There are always people walking somewhere or riding their bikes (often with 4-6 bags of charcoal on them!)
