June

I don't know if you enjoy old news, but I guess we'll start back to the end of June....... School still had about 2 weeks to go yet........

June 27th was the 3rd trimester field trip for the school students.  We went to a petting zoo and had a grand time!  All the students and teacher's fit in our 2 mission busses....barely:)

This little monkey was 'wired'.  He scared lots of the littlest children because he pounced here and there and you never knew if he was gona land on you or your neighbor or branch.

Can you see this animal?  It's a manicu (opposum) which is a delicacy meat here in Grenada.

I think Caleb was a little scared...what do you think?  They say there are no poisonous snakes on the Island so we SHOULD have nothing to be scared of.

I believe the donkey ride was the highlight.  Poor donkey was really tired after giving 50 people a ride.

This was the beginning stages of a house our church helped build for a lady (Barbara) that attends our church sometimes.  The house is completed now and she, along with her son and grandson, are enjoying a new home.

July 3rd, Philip, Mary, and their son, Gabriel, arrived in Grenada.  Philip was the speaker for the Limes crusade, which was held at the Mont tout playing field. It was so much fun having family here and the children enjoyed Gabriel immensly!!  Since they came from our home church in Mississippi, we received lots of gifts which was a pleasant surprise for us.  Thanks so much for your kindness!

Here is a night of crusade. Pastor Marvin was demonstrating how 'sin will find you out' to the little children.

  

And then the clean-up.   This is a better picture of where we had crusade since it was taken in the day time.  We usually set up a huge tent for crusades like this, but it was so nice to be on concrete and out of the mud.

The leaning tower of benches that never toppled over.


Philips stayed a day after crusade so we took them on a little tour of the island.  We had a picnic lunch at Anandale Waterfalls where the children love to swim.  If you want to see a picture of the waterfalls, just look back at other posts.  We take almost every visiter that comes to this beautiful place.   Jalane's brother, Jordan, went along with us.





This is where we ended our tour.
The lady in the middle of the picture (Nadia) made 'oil down' for Philip's and us.  Lydia has spent a lot of time with her and we pray she will totally surrender her life to Jesus soon.





This was a pet African snail that Caleb found.  He ate lettuce and lived in a bucket of water for about 3 weeks.  We tried to let him go by leaving the lid off, but, you know, snails don't just 'run off' so the children would find him and put him back in the bucket.  I haven't seen him for a couple days now so he must have mozied on somewhere.

Marvin's dream finally became reality....a raised bed.  The children helped as much as they could.

Eagerly awaiting fresh tomatoes, cabbage, peppers, cucumbers, and lettuce

This is the middle of June.  I went visiting and found the basket maker and his grandchildren.

Every 3rd Friday of the Month, we have Jr. youth night for children ages 8-13.  We usually get a crowd, but have lots of fun.  This was devotional time back behind our house.

Us ladies made Sunday lunch for the Men on Father's Day.  We did try to make extra special things to let the men know we appreciate them...like poor man's steak, peas, meatballs, backed fresh chicken, etc.

Even the children enjoyed it!

Good bye and thanks for praying for our family!
