3RD SET OF TRIPLETS GRACE OUR DOOR!

PRAYERS NEEDED, for these three tiny tots (1.5kg / 3.3lbs each) are show­ing just how tough they can be. The three (1 boy and 2 girls) were born May 9th and we received them on the 12th, for the mother’s milk was not suf­fi­cient for all of them.

 
Triplets, 1 boy and 2 girls, 3.3 lbs/1.5kg each.​

When admit­ted, they had no names yet, but we encour­aged the par­ents to take that step, for we declared they would live in Jesus’ name. Many here refuse to name their new­borns if they think they are not going to make it.
 

Quick­ly weigh­ing one of the new triplets at mid­day. Warmth is a high priority​.

AMAZED that they had the strength to suck­le, we imme­di­ate­ly got them wrapped in warm, infant-sized blan­kets that I cut from a large blan­ket. It was 55ºF (15ºC) in my house this a.m. as our win­ter is upon us. Keep­ing all infants, espe­cial­ly pre­emies, warm is a high pri­or­i­ty, for they lose body heat very fast. We also con­tributed two adult blan­kets for the moth­er and granny to use at night to keep all of them warm.

TWO DAYS LATER, at our week­ly “weigh in” for babies, all 3 were doing fine and showed an amaz­ing increase in weight of 250 gms each. We encour­aged the fam­i­ly for they are doing a great job.Keep them in your prayers, for they are far from “out of the woods” at this time, espe­cial­ly with win­ter upon us. Will keep you updat­ed on how they are doing. 

OUR KIDS DOING FANTASTIC!
Art class, Rum­mikub, BAWANA games, play­ground, and now school home­work are keep­ing all our chil­dren exer­cised both in mind and body. The pho­tos say it all. Even the teach­ers are hav­ing a ball in art class and learn­ing Rum­mikub as well.

TERMITES IN THE KITCHEN DRAIN SYSTEM?
For the first time since build­ing the dorm’s kitchen drain in 2007, we had to open it as TERMITES had tak­en it over—COMPLETELY!
They built a sol­id mud house inside the sep­tic box, and com­plete­ly blocked the drainage and air­vent pipes with mud.

 
Dig­ging ter­mite “house” out of kitchen drainage tank.​

Ter­mites are called the “under­ground mafia” around here, for they def­i­nite­ly try to con­trol the under­ground. We sur­mise that they did most of their con­struc­tion while the boys were on the first 30 day break dur­ing the lock­down, for they went home.
Seems they man­aged to com­plete the pipe con­struc­tion even with small amounts of water being poured down it dur­ing dish wash­ing.
Nev­er a dull moment around here.  We hope­ful­ly deterred them from return­ing by lay­er­ing the bot­tom of the box with rock salt.  It burns their bod­ies, so they try to avoid salty areas.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR FAITHFUL SUPPORT IN PRAYER AND LOVE GIFTS DURING THESE DIFFICULT DAYS.
OUR STAFF IS PRAYING FOR ALL OF YOU.

BLESSINGS IN JESUS’ NAME AS THE WORLD REOPENS.
