Thank you for the message that you gave me Miss Terp. It was very nice and I enjoyed reading it.
Anyway, it is almost our first year in Africa and we are enjoying having fun with the Australian team still. They have almost been here a week.
I am glad that I came here for almost a year. I enjoyed the 10th anniversary for Beautiful Gate. And a few people from Haven church were also there and I enjoyed that. There has been many teams here lately. And so it gets a little bit busy hustling and bustling around the house. But so far it has been exciting and also I was enjoying myself.
In the last year the best thing about Beautiful Gate is the kids and the staff.
My favorite trip was when I went to Port Elizabeth because I got to pet a cheetah. And when we went to go home we got to go to McDonalds in Bloemfontain because there is no McDonalds in Lesotho.
What I missed most in the last year is tortilla chips and salsa, my family and friends, and our house.
Thank you for following my blog. It is wonderful that you are doing that.

I am so glad your favorite thing is the kids and staff at BG. They are some pretty awesome people. It was so much fun seeing you serve at BG, E. You are a great servant and God is growing you in to a man with a mission. I pray for you and your family everyday that you may fully feel God's love and presence as you serve Him. Keep smiling!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Elijah,
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog and enjoy reading it very much~ you are doing a great job! I haven't commented until now because I needed help getting set up on an account to comment. But now I'm all set, so I hope to keep commenting as you keep blogging :)
I can't believe you have been in Africa for a year already! You have experienced so many things (including petting a cheetah!) that I would love to experience myself. I can see already how God has been working in you and your family and that is such a wonderful, valuable thing! God is shaping you!
My family and I will keep you in our prayers and I will look forward to reading more blog entries!
Take care Elijah!
