Time and Friends Have a Way of Passing

On a very sad note, we lost a friend at House of Hope that we were very close to. His name was Wainaina Basigwa he was a boy that i went with Margaret to rescue. It has been a little hard on Michael and I. We have felt so alone at times and when this happened it reminded us of just how far we are from them. We know we will see Wainaina again one day in heaven, however, I wish I would have looked each child in the eyes and told them that they changed me forever and that I love them so much. I know that Wainaina would not have understood me but he would have seen it in my eyes that I loved him and that he was so special to me. He had an amazing smile and his voice was high pitch and so excited all the time. Michael can do a great impression of it. I did not treat Africa or everything about it with the respect it so deserved, one day I hope to correct my wrongs. Please pray for everyone at House of Hope, I am sure this is hard on everyone. Wainaina will be missed by everyone that ever knew him.



On a lighter note:

Michael's birthday is tomorrow he will be 29 years old. We met when he was only 17, crazy!! Man have I seen him grown into an amazing man. God is so faithful even when we are not.

Matilda will be 2 in Aug. I think that is even weirder to type then Michael being 29. I am so in love with her. She is perfect. She is so strong but still so needy. She is so freakin smart and yet still has so much to learn. She is simply amazing in every way.
She just had her first cast taken off about 3 weeks ago. She fractured her wrist playing on a rocking horse. She is going to be a hand full we can tell already.

We are still serving at London Belle. We love what we are doing however we have never really done or stayed any where longer then a year or so. So we find ourselves getting a little stir crazy at times. But God has us here in this time and this place for a purpose. So we will wait and serve Him here until He tells us what next, if He ever tells us what next.


Side note:
We sent out a news letter not that long ago (before we lost our friend), if you did not get one and would like one, send us an email or a comment and one will come your way.
