God's answers to prayer

I have been worrying about the hectic pace of life lately..... last week both Arthur and Heidi were away, so teaching split classes, or multi levels of English was tough. As well we had a couple of midnight deliveries of babies to keep me on my feet. The boys decided to play up at night, (no dorm dean) and Zac had a sleepless night with upset tummy..... Help God, I called," How will I manage when these two dedicated young people leave me????" I took Muwai down to translate, and snuck a peak at email.... God had answered. He is so good to me. I have teachers and helpers coming in March, April, and then June and a longer term one in August. Now I wonder: " Do more helpers mean more kids?"

We have completed the main part of the dining room.... now we will undertake the new kitchen on the side. Again God is the accountant. When we went to Bangkok a couple of weeks ago, we were surprized at the offerings given to us by children and church members. So buying the wood and roofing materials was undertaken with the cash in hand. The wood first: 14,500 baht quickly was paid out in note form. Then the cement and pillars paid out (18,000). We were now getting to the small change. I went to get the roofing iron. The first shop had some sheets the required length.... (3,000) so we moved onward to Tar Sow. There I was told the could supply the rest of our requirements for another 7176 baht.... Oh dear, I guessimated we only had 6000 left in coins.... "lets count said the assistant." So we counted..... 7,777 baht. More than enough. We could pay for the wood in coins (Thankyou RAIS students) and had enough to fill the truck with fuel.

Tomorrow Zac will be three. God blesses us again and again.
