Wrapping Up

Again, sorry I have not updated in awhile! Kathy made it home safe and sound near the end of February and had a blessed time, helping many people and sharing the good news. Now, they are visiting us and planning on taking back all the wonderfully-warm goods you all worked so hard on. There were quite a few hats, along with some scarves, blankets, and a pair of mittens (my ONE PAIR I was able to find time to make). It filled a decent-sized diaper box (my way of recycling) that will be making it's way up north and, ultimately, to Africa sometime this summer. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed! Hopefully, we can do this again in the near future and hopefully by then, things will run a little more smoothly. Sorry gals! Thanks again!

Kathy Update

Just wanted to give a quick update on Kathy. She left for Swaziland on Thursday and made it safely and smoothly...eventually. There's a 9 hour time difference between me (MST) and her, so I don't know exactly *when* she arrived, but nevertheless, she arrived.

I just got to chat with her a bit on Facebook. She's doing well and is having a great time. They held their first clinic yesterday and 500 people showed up for treatment. Wow! Please be praying for the seeds that were sown and for the workers who are busy doing the planting. As for our part in this, I was unable to send any goods with her, but she's planning on visiting for my youngest's birthday next month and will be taking goods back with her. Stay tuned for that update. It's not they're needing warmth right now anyways - it's their summertime! :)

That's all I have for now. Please be praying for Kathy and the rest of The Luke Commission. May the Word be spread far and wide for His glory!
