Help at home

Living in Botswana and loving it, although it is a different culture and that brings differences in many ways. Electricity is 220 volts, the currency is Pula and Thebe, length is measured in millimeters, centimeters and meters, weight in grams and kilo's and the list goes on. These are by all means small matters, just like driving on the left side of the road and right side of the car. Once you do it day in and out you get used to it, almost to the point of not thinking about it; still have times when I go to the left side of the car to get in the driver's seat. What really matters is relationships and that is why we are here, from Christ Himself having confirmed it, and show the way.

We have two new relationships at home in the house the Lord has blessed us with. Didn't think we would ever need the help but we do and it is a blessing. April has Phuthologo to help with the cleaning inside, vacuuming, dusting, bathrooms and even windows! Outside we have Kiello helping with the yard work, pruning, weeding, cutting the grass and sweeping the dirt and is it everywhere. Many people here have helping hands around the house and that is were they end it, never taking a sincere interest in them. We don't think that way, if it is lunch time and we prepare something then we would want them to eat as well, even join us at the table. Maybe it isn't what others do here but it is the way Jesus showed us to live with others. We pray for their relationship with Him and will try to maintain His example.
