Here is what we have been doing for the past several weeks in picture:
We went to visit the twins and say goodbye. They are doing pretty well considering what they had gone through. Their mother is doing a great job taking care of them.
We also went to say goodbye to Reema and Akiar. Reema is very healthy and is quite fat as you can see in the picture. Really refreshing to see since we have seen so many malnourished babies. Her family is doing an amazing job of taking care of her!! This is a picture with her and her aunt is holding her.
This is a picture of Reema's and Akiar's grandmother. They don't really smile in pictures but this picture of Akiar's grandmother (the one on the right of me) is comical because she looks so angry.
---------------------------------
Here is Akiar with his uncle. They too have done a great job. Akiar's grandmother doesn't have as much confidence about taking care of him without us but we assured her that it was not us helping but it was God. They too have done a great job taking care of him and he is very well attached to his family. Huge praises all around!!
---------------------------
Our friend Victor will continue checking on all the babies and their families. For the last several weeks he has been going there to share God's word with them. We are very thankful for this.

One of our friends wanted to take us to Kidepo which is the closest game park. We drove there in the morning and just spent a couple hours there but we got to see all kinds of animals, before driving back home. Here are a few of our favorites.
A game park guide helped us find these female lions who had just finished eating so they had no interest in us at all. We were about 12 feet away from them in our Land Cruiser and they didn't even care. It was amazing. There were 6 total.
We saw about about 100 elephants during the time we were there. The babies are sooooo cute! This male was not excited about us when we stopped to take his picture. He trumpeted at us and flapped his ears to tell us how unhappy he was about our presence.

Janaya and Samuel mimicking a scene from a book we were reading about Native Americans with Neveah and Rikot Williams. It was very cute and I love seeing the things they have learned coming out in play :) | ||
Janaya giving Eliana a ride in the wheel barrel. Too cute!

Carter doing school with one of our baby ducks. Someone stole our ducks one night from the coup. One of the ducks had eggs that were days away from hatching. We managed to keep 4 alive with our makeshift incubator. They were so cute and followed us around everywhere because they thought we were their mother. Unfortunately they all died of some disease after about 2 weeks. The kids really enjoyed them. Especially our animal lover, Carter.
--------------------------
There are other things that we have been doing that we don't have pictures for. LIKE PACKING.... school (lots of it)......and sorting...and more packing. Fortunately we were able to find a place to store our things.
Malachi seems to be doing really well. He is even good at reminding me to give him his seizure medicine since I need to give it to him 3 times a day. We are hoping we can see a specialist when we are in the States to get their opinion about his seizures, but since being on the meds. he has not had any.
Please continue praying for us as we leave and go through more transition. It has been quite stressful for me to get everything I need to get done while still not feeling the best.
