Beautiful Flowers and a Biopsy

Greetings, dear readers!!!

I feel like I haven't posted for awhile......what's new....let me think....

Well, today was extremely windy!! Just when I thought it had finished, it picked up again!

Last Monday, my Mum went for a biopsy on her arm and it is still quite sore for her. The stitches will be removed sometime this week, God willing. I think my Mum is now tired of going to the hospital but we pray that this is the last thing.
It is Spring time here and Claridge looks like a botanical garden with the beautifully green grass and gorgeous flowers!

The big Jacaranda tree in our yard is blooming and the little flowers fell to the ground creating a beautiful purple "carpet" to cover the grass. It really is a sight to behold! Unfortunately, the photo's are not loading :(

Anyway, little Blitzy is getting more and more independent now, she is eating her food on her own(well, almost all her food) and she is sleeping in her own room! Joshy is being spoilt as usual, he takes advantage of my Mum's Aunt because she loves animals and is humble. His rules are that he can sleep where he wants to when he wants to! Curly is playing "nurse" with Mum and during these passed few days, she has been quite naughty! We caught her on the sofa a few times already! The other naughty thing is that she rolls up this grass mat of our's.  Especially when we have visitors and she doesn't get much attention she would plop herself on the mat and begin rolling in it and squishing it, turning this way and that way, enjoying herself!!!!

Did you notice the "Favorite Sites" links on the side of the site? It is of the main mission in Kranskop and 2 of our other missions, one is in Virginia and the other is in Malelane. We have MANY missions in South Africa and also in other countries too. If you would like to see the other websites overseas,  then go onto the main missions website and click on the international sites, there are some in France, Russia, Germany and so on...enjoy!!!!!

Alright now, I think this post is long enough, hmm?

God bless,

Page-views and Pelendaba :)

Hello dear readers!

I was so happy to see that I have 1488 page views! Wow! Thank you all so much for reading and sharing my blog, I really appreciate it! Okay, since we are almost there, I would really like it if we can reach 1500 views as my short term goal and by Christmas....perhaps 2 000? Is that too far-fetched? I don't think so! There is only one way to find out.....tell your friends, family, colleagues, acquaintances, strangers...whoever! Tell those animal lovers! So, can I count on you?!

Today was a lovely but busy week, we had exams but by God's grace, it went very well! We are very grateful! Yesterday, my parents went to the funeral of one of the co-workers of the mission in Pelendaba. He really lived for The Lord, keep checking the KwaSizabantu website and I'm sure they will post something about the funeral. The link is http://www.ksb.org.za
The combie left Claridge at 02:30 in the morning because it was a looooooong drive! The funeral was at 11:00 and there was apparently even a popped tyre along the way, thankfully the tyre was changed and all went well. Most of the co-workers from here went to the funeral. They arrived home after 22:00 last night. That is how it is to be a missionary, you must always be ready to up and go when you have to. The Lord must always be No.1 in our lives.

Now for the kids, Curly was so naughty in the morning! When she saw Caleb opening the window for Joshy, she jumped onto the sofa and then onto the headrest! Sam is so beautiful, his colors are so unique!

Thanks for reading! I'll end off now....

God bless,

Greenhouses and a Great Holiday!

Greetings, dear readers!! Hahaha

It is holiday time for the schools and universities. Unfortunately, we have a lot of work to do and thus have to study through this holiday. But....by God's grace, Renate could spend few days with us here!!
She also had plenty of work to do but at least we could have some sort of a holiday. Katya was supposed to come but she went to the youth conference in Malelane. 

These passed few days have been quite warm, sometimes even hot but yesterday and today was so cold!!! I don't know why the weather changed so dramatically!

Blitzy enjoyed having Renate here too because she could sleep on her suitcase! During the last 2 weeks, the farm workers have been busy constructing 2 greenhouses! I was going to upload the photo's I took but I'm using our iPad to upload this post I don't know as yet how to put photo's up with it. Hehehe.....yes, I know, I know.

Anyway, I must end off now...

God bless,

Before and After :)

Here are some photo's of Sam the turtle for you to compare.

The first one was taken on the 10th of June and the second picture was taken a few days ago.
Little Sam has really grown! Even his colouring has changed.

A Turtle Named Sam :)

Hello

Sorry for the delay in posting! This week has been busy, our studies keep us quite busy indeed.

The kids are fine, we've been having some warm weaather here in Claridge and they have been enjoying the sun.

My Dad cleaned Sam's tank the other day and little Sam got depressed...he wasn't eating his food for a few days but we prayed over him. Then, one day, he perked up and began eating! God is so good! Now, he is more brave and even lets us come close to the tank without swimming away or anything. He doesn't even retaliate. I was just comparing his photo's from 3 months ago and he has grown SO much!!

Here are some photo's for you to enjoy!

God bless,

Oom Peet and Tannie Andra brought some Hershey bars for us from America! ------>

 Look at this child ---->

Sam.....so sweet!!!!
