Crazy Weekend Here I Come!

To start off today's post I thought I would update you on the mother and twins I've been asking prayers for. Your prayers are working!! The mother is starting to produce more milk, it's still not enough, but it's more than what she originally was porducing. Everytime we've gone in there she has also had one baby skin to skin with her and the other skin to skin with her mother, so this is definitely good news! To add onto the good news we found out that both of their temps are much higher today! I almost cried I was so happy! Today was pretty calm, all the families have left for Bujumbura except for the Baskin family and me. It was a nice day and I got to cook with Becky which was a treat! This weekend will be a crazy one, I will wake up tomorrow and get ready for the day then at 9:30 a driver will pick us all up for our 2 and 1/2 hour trip down the mountain. When we arrive we will stay at The Cookie Cottage and hopefully go out to dinner with the Bond family as planned. We will then stay the night at the cottage. Sunday morning we will wake up and meet the Fader and Willis families at a local International church. Then go to a hotel on the beach for some lunch and swimming! Unfortunately I didn't bring a swim suit, but I will still be very thankful for the sand and the sun! Sunday afternoon the Faders will leave us to travel back to Kibuye and we will spend time with the Willis family. Then we will all head to the airport to start our journey home! So as you can see my weekend is crazy busy! A truely fun way to spend our last few days here though. Please pray for safe travels for all of us and that the kids do not get carsick on the winding roads! I hope to post one last blog tomorrow night but if I'm not able to I will see you all soon! I will end today's blog with descriptions of the Fader and Willis kids! Hopefully I'll get the ages right! If I don't I apologize ahead of time and please do not be afraid to post something in the comments to correct me! Goodnight all! Fader Kids: Anna: A motherly little 8 year old who loves watching out for others. She has a caring heart and a loving personality. She likes reading, cooking, gardening, and playing with Eika! She's a sweet thing who loves Miss Nina! Abi: A smiley 6 year old who is missing a few teeth! We call her the toothless wonder! She loves to talk, have people read stories to her, give hugs, hold hands, and giggle! Willis Kids: Eika: A sweet 10 year old who I've found a great friend in. She has a very friendly personality and I've loved hanging out with her! She loves watching movies, doing hair, having fun with Anna, making bracelets and helping her mom cook! Henry: A spunky 8 year old who has almost as much sass as I do! He may be sassy, but he's also sweet and helped with the younger kids when I needed him to! He loves candy, riding bikes, playing frisbee, making bracelets, handing out the bracelets, watching his dad work and pulling teeth! Eva: A cute little 4 year old who knows how to make you laugh! She loves movies, juice, cookies and having your attention! Jude: A tough little 3 year old who gives the greatest hugs! The first time I met Jude he was a bit shy but he has since warmed up to me! He loves playing with Henry, riding a bike, his mommy, sitting in peoples laps and giving Miss Nina hugs and telling her that he loves her!

  1. Nina, thank you for all your wonderful posts! Can't tell you how much it means to us to get your daily updates. Sounds like a really great weekend with lots of fun visits. And just a couple of short flights home. Love to all and prayers for safe travel.
