Almost a month has passed!

A month has passed? Seems not possible that so much time has passed.  Vincent has been busy with meetings with the community about the work to be done there as well as meetings with FMC.  We are awaiting the response from the meeting with the Ministry of Lands, about the possiblity of moving forward with the clearing of the land for the community school.
Samantha has been busy with the children daily as well as attending a ladies bible study once a week.  The girls are doing great and have adjusted to living in Zambia very well.  This past week we did have some constipation issues with Ahlyvia so we are trying to find ways to get more fruit into her diet.  She however loves to eat and trying to stop her from eating is not a pleasant experience for any of us. 
Madisyn has met several friends here in the compound in which we live and enjoys going to the park to play with them.  She is learning a few words in one of the local languages and enjoys trying to speak in their language.  She greets the local people with the greeting "Mwele Bwange" which means How are you?  Madisyn the other night was very sweet, the power tends to go out several times a week for an hour or 3 and the other night, once the power came on she screamed out Halelujah, thank you Jesus for putting the lights back on.  That night I told her a secret that we may have ice cream together if she asked her Daddy, she went and asked him and he told her yes we could.  Her excitement was huge, and she said this will be great mommy, daddy and me can watch a movie, have ice cream and familyship time, she said won't that be great?

We are anxiously awaiting the completion of our new house, yesterday they dug a trench all the way from the electricty pole to our new house, see the picture attached.  The completion is very close to being finished we are very excited to be moving there and completely unpacking as we have only unpacked the necessary things so far.  Please pray with us that we are able to get good prices on furninshing the house and that the internet man is able to get us set up quickly! 
Well will update more once I hear from Vince about his meeting this morning in town, but in the mean time keep praying that the Government will come through for the Grippis community!
