SURPRISE!  IT’S TRIPLETS!

Wednes­day, a moth­er was brought to us on a bicy­cle with a baby girl on her back. Noth­ing unusu­al, as that hap­pens all the time.

But her doc­u­ment from Social Ser­vices said THREE-DAY-OLD TRIPLETS! I asked where are the oth­er 2 babies? She told us they were “on the way” with 2 oth­er women, as her 40 year old legs couldn’t han­dle the walk (we thought she was the grand­moth­er).  Sure enough, 10 min­utes lat­er in walk 2 women with 2 baby boys.  
Triplets with moth­er on far right.​ Our Staff was amazed that A 40-YEAR-OLD WOMAN, whom we thought was the grand­moth­er, was actu­al­ly THE MOTHER of these triplets! The 2 boys each weighed 2.4 Kg (5.28 lbs), but the tiny lit­tle girl, only 1.7 Kg (3.74 lbs.) What a weight this woman had car­ried while preg­nant!
We fixed them up with 3 bot­tles and baby for­mu­la com­bined with full instruc­tions on how to care for them. We pray the lit­tle girl makes it, as she is quite small and frag­ile. Please pray for them all, as I have only known 1 set of triplets where all 3 made it to their 1st birth­day.
LIFE SKILLS CENTER NOW HAS A WATER WELL!

The “pump team” drove in last Wednes­day, and imme­di­ate­ly began orga­niz­ing the water well base. It is inter­est­ing how they put it all togeth­er in only 3 days, so I thought I’d share my pho­to series with you.

Life Skills Water Well is fin­ished. A super bless­ing.​
Our team will mark the build­ing this com­ing week, and begin dig­ging the foun­da­tion.  All mov­ing at a fast rate, which makes me very hap­py.  If you want to see the well in action, we’ve post­ed a quick video. https://youtu.be/CfA8GHXYpx0  WALLS UP AT HOUSE #7 – AWAITING RING BEAM & ROOF

OUR CHILDREN RELEASED FROM SCHOOL FOR THE NEXT 30 DAYS

Like many coun­tries fac­ing the cur­rent health chal­lenge, Mozam­bique is work­ing hard to pre­vent this sick­ness from enter­ing the coun­try. Since the chil­dren have tons of time for the next 30 days, they are learn­ing “yard work” 101, which includes chop­ping the grass to keep our liv­ing area clean. Extra sports and oth­er fun activ­i­ties are being added to their dai­ly sched­ule to help keep them busy.

WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOUR HEALTH, AND WE HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR OURS.
