This week has been another busy week so far. On Monday we were able to go to Nchala where another Noah's Ark Orphan Care Center will be started. The church there has already started helping 8 orphan children themselves along with others being helped in their homes. It was a blessing to be there. While we were there, we were served lunch - which was a big sacrifice for them as they have very little in that village. On our way home from Nchala, we were able to go on a game preserve that was free for us. We were excited to see 5 giraffes at one point and at least 2-3 others while we were driving.

Some of the team members have been challenged to adopt children. Some have been challenged to sponsor students for the university. Christopher (the pastor's son) was able to visit colleges yesterday with a team member and they are ready to accept him as soon as he brings in his paperwork from his schooling.

Right now, the rest of the team is a Majete Game Preserve. I am sure they are having a wonderful time and being able to see many animals. This is the same preserve where we went last year.

On Monday evening, we had a good meeting with our attorney. Our attorney now has all of our paperwork and we will be meeting with Linda's guardians as soon as possible. That is our next step.

I am so excited for you guys. I just read about Linda’s mom and I cried! Praise the Lord! I want to be close to you to celebrate this wonderful news. I was with my extended family yesterday and they had adopted their 2 children. It was fun to share your story! I am so proud of you. We miss you guys. We hope to get back to MI in the next couple of months. We will have to see with JJ’s. Jason is doing a good job. He was first working 3:45am to 9:00/11:00pm. He was doing hours like that for quite a few wks. We have trained a lot of employees in the short 1 wk and 3 days we have been open. Yesterday was his first 11-12 hour day. It was wonderful having him around. Jason wrestled the boys and Kyra on the tramp; we took the kids to catch Bull Heads (nasty fish, LOL) His hours will keep getting better. I am pretty much home with the kids. I love it. I go to Mpls. one day a week for work. Anyway, we miss you terribly and are so excited for all your doing for God! All the lives that have been changed for God. The cool this is you’ll never know all the lives you’ve changed until you meet them in Heaven. Praying for you. Much love, Shannon Kerr
