Hello again


Hi all- thanks for checking in with us.
It has been a long and exhausting week. Greg has put in some very long days making repairs at the one of the Watoto churches. Lorenda spent Monday and Tuesday working on guesthouse facelift and the rest of the week at the babies’ home.
When you live here for a while, you begin to feel like you have seen everything, but last week we saw something new. We were at a friend’s house and she called us to come into the spare room because she wanted us to see something. There in the track of the window were the tiniest little eggs we had ever seen. Turns out they were gecko eggs and that is the second time she had laid them in that same place. No word yet on whether they have hatched, but we can always use more geckos to get rid of the bugs!
Every night we have several geckos, and usually a few preying mantis, surrounding the lights right outside our apartment door. They are cute, very quick and great at catching bugs! We haven’t found any in our apartment yet, but it is likely just a matter of time. Our friends who have the gecko eggs frequently find gecko tails around their house- seems the geckos just lose their tail at some point (not sure if it is the whole thing or just a part of it). We’ll let you know if we find any!
Tomorrow Greg is going to be working most of the day again and we need to stock up on groceries for when our kids arrive on Monday night. It will be a busy weekend and then before we know it, they will be here!
Thanks again for following our journey and for all your support and prayers- we appreciate it very much!

  1. As long as we don't find said gecko eggs in MY suitcase, its all good... : )

    TWO DAYS!! You know how people ask, 'so what are your plans for the weekend?' when they're making small talk? I can't wait to respond with, 'Ah, nothing much. Just going to Africa.' YAYAYAYAYAYAYA!!!
