We are about 2 weeks away from being in the house. We can't wait! Last night Benton and Davis spent the night at the compound. They stayed in the tent with a few of the men working on the house. They had a blast staying up late and being served their morning chai. We are blessed to have a group of christian men from Uganda working on the construction of the house. They have been so nice and caring to our family. They have joined us for church each Sunday. We will be sad to see them leave.
The boys have decided that they need an outdoor kitchen for themselves. Here is a picture of them constructing the mud walls. Sunto and Lomkwam are two of their friends that have been helping. They always have some new project going on. Walker is always watching or destroying what they make.
We were able to get away for two days to Loki, Kenya. It is about a 3 hour drive from Kapoeta. We stayed at a place that had air-conditioning. It was nice to have the temperature under 90 degrees. We even found a place that had milkshakes.
Thank you to all of our friends and family that have kept in touch with us. We have really appreciated your words of encouragement. Please continue to pray for us and the Toposa people. We love you all!

Thanks so much for the update and pictures. Benton is really growing!Davis and Walker look so busy. I think an outdoor kitchen is just what they need. Now if you can just teach them how to cook! The house is really looking good and I know you'll are anxious to move in. Talk to you'll later in the week.
Love,

Wow! The house looks so nice and big! I can not imagine living in a one room home with my family. A girl needs her space sometimes! I love reading the updates and seeing the pictures of the boys. God is using you and your family in a mighty way! Our church family is lifting you up in prayer daily :)!! Take care!
Love, Dena
