Pictures From Africa

We woke up to a nice treat this morning. My sister-in-law sent us a pile of pictures and she even said I could post a few. It's nice fun to see the kids' cute smiles and see how they are growing, and of course, we were looking for pictures of Christina. Three months is starting to feel like a long time.

Meet my African Family. 

They are all related to me one way or another :-)

Mother, brother, daughter, nephew, nieces, sister-in-law.

Not in that order, 

of course.

Christina at Lake Malawi.

Is three months long enough for hair to grow noticeably longer?

 

If you have been there once, a picture like this makes you want to go back!!

But it's not all play...

When the African's heard that they were going to get a new church

they made quick work of the old one to make room for it.

Then Jason's crew was put to work.

The crew!
Just so you know,

the demand for One Day Churches is more than they can supply.

This is mainly a strong roof and beams. 

It's up to the congregation to decide what type of walls they want to build under their roof.

Brick works well.They also use these structures for schools. My brother has been very, very involved in this project for quite awhile. He has built  a LOT of them, like maybe 140, and has the construction plans down pat.

If you go to onedaychurch.org

and look under UPDATES in the bottom left corner you will see

Life of a One-Day Church missionary.

This is basically excerpts from Jason's blog.

And you can find video clips. The ones that interest me are the ones shot in Zimbabwe - 

because, of course,

Jason and Antionette were part of that, too.

So, cool that Christina was able to be a part of this fantastic mission outreach.
