JEREMIAH HOUSE - HAS THREE RESIDENTS - THREE YOUNG BOYS
HOMEWORK TIME
Gulnara said to the boys - "if you get bad grades because of NOT doing your homework, no pies in the evening." Well, they love her pies - so here they are doing homework. Maybe not happy about it, but certainly happy about the pies!
A LITTLE VIEW FOR YOU
THE BEDS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE YET
We ordered bunk beds for the rooms, but they are not yet done. However, children needed to live here and they found an answer - let's borrow beds for the time being and we will put the bunks in later. Worked, three boys in residence: Omerbeck, Alenbeck and Aziz.
PEOPLE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WE DID THERE RECENTLY - SO WE MADE A LITTLE LIST.
We were just too tired to remember the rest.
Oh and in the process we both had the flu. So, when you look this over remember who is the provider and sustainer! Our Heavenly Father gets ALL THE CREDIT. We just showed up and stopped for what needed to be done at the moment.
