quite some time

Hello out there..
Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Just want to give a short update on how God is working. We sold Donald's motorcycle and now the only item we have left is our camper/ toyhauler. If we don't sell it we will store it till we come back home on furlough then we can stay in it without disrupting anyone for a place to stay.
What can I say..God is Great !!

Oh, forgot, you can now read our blog from the Children's Cup Website, www.childrenscup.org,click on our blogs in the upper right of the page.
thank you Stephanie...

We want to express thanks for all the cards and prayers with the death of my dad and a continuing "thank you" from the bottom of our hearts to all of our supporters of prayer and monitary donations.

Our families are putting on a yard sale Saturday Aug.23rd to raise money to purchase items for a BBQ pork and chicken plate sale in September...

We are greatly blessed...
thank YOU and please continue the prayers for us !!!

God Bless
Donald & Diane

Remembering

Remembering a year ago today "My birthday" the first time Diane and I were in Swaziland at our first care point stop where an over privileged spoild american was honored by over two-hundred under privileged Swazi children that sang happy birthday to me. To date that was the best birthday ever, no there was no cake with many candles, no ballons or many brigthly wrapped birthday gifts but just an awsome knowledge of knowing just how very blessed I (we) are. It was also two days from now a year ago that God confiremen in mine amd Diane's heart that this would be our new home, the place that HE was calling us to help minister to those most vaugnerable and very vauluable children. It is just but a few months now God willing we will be back in that place God has called us to. Please keep us and our families in your prayers during this time of transsition for us and espesially the children of Swaziland. Thank you all our supporters and for a wonderful church family. To God be the glory great thing He is doing.
