"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as Christ Jesus." Philippines 2:3-5

We had another great work team. Thank you Living Waters Assembly of God from Elkhorn, WI. Everyone had a great time and our children enjoyed having visitors once again. It was so good to see the bathroom floor go in.
Isn’t there an easier way to put gravel in this thing?
This is a lot of work can’t we get a cement truck?
Our children all have chores to do and they must be done even when we have visitors. Here are two of our little boys cleaning out the goose pond.
The team had plenty of time to interact with the children and naturally our children ate it up.
Children are the same all over the world. Some have more than others but they all love to play and seem to have the same instincts. If you don’t believe me take a look at this picture.
The last work team we had not only worked on the building but also built our children a swing set. They have had so much fun on that swing. Both the boys and girls love it. Thanks for helping our children.
On the last day this team took the children to a swimming pool. Our children love to go swimming but it is a rare treat because of the cost. They swam all day and had a picnic there. So much fun was had you could hear giggles and screams all over the place.
As usual our children hate to see visitors leave and will do anything to keep them there longer. So, into the van the children go to try and either keep the visitors or go home with them.
The team also did a lot of clean up. The land next to us belongs to the government and we have put in a letter of solicitation to the government for that land. They say they will make a decision this month. Please pray that they will give us the land for the Children’s Home.
Thank you for your prayers and support. Ron & Bernadette Gartner
