Update on the girls


We got word this morning that one of the nannies has been hired for the twins. She starts tomorrow. We are thrilled to hear this news because it’s another step closer to bringing the children to Good Samaritan. It has been difficult to find a nanny that can read and write. Thandie found a nanny last week that had a wonderful testimony and heart for the Lord however she couldn’t recognize any numbers or letters. This can cause a safety issue for the twins. They need to have a nanny that can take accurate readings of their temperatures especially during malaria season. The girls will be drinking powdered milk and formula that will need to be measured requiring basic math skills. There will need to be records kept of the children’s daily progress as well as long-term weight gain. We were also hoping the children would have the opportunity to be taught preschool skills. We also are praying that the Lord provides Nannies that are trust worthy, patient and loving towards the twins. Thandie is pleased with this first nanny and is interviewing another prospect tomorrow. We are hoping for at least two nannies. The missionary would like to see three nannies available so that there would be coverage during vacations and emergencies.
The nanny that will be starting tomorrow will assist in the cleaning and room prepartion for the twins. They will be staying in the same room as Savannah-Hope but needs to be adjusted to accomidate two toddlers. We are hearing that the twins should be moved next week.

Thank you for continually praying for Tamandani and Sidala. Our current prayer requests include:

Securing their nannies
That the Lord would prepare their hearts for the move
Their health
Their financial support as well as supplies.

Hi, I've been following your blog since you were in Malawi- I'm not even sure how I found it. I'd love to send over a care package- please let me know where to send it.
God Bless you and your family for all you're doing to help.
