Today the ten girls arrive.
I incorrectly expected them to reach here around noon or after since they are traveling from all over the country.
So, while I was washing my laundry outside, the first girl arrived. She happened to be the only I have already met…and as soon as she dropped her bags in her room, she started to help me finish washing my clothes!
There is an African saying here that says a woman is never a visitor. So, she proved that right! Before she even got settled in her new home, she was working!
So far three of our girls are already here, and making themselves at home as they wait for the rest of their sisters to arrive. Meanwhile, the children at the school on our property are very intrigued as they watching so many young women around after years of this being a house for young men. The older girls are certainly excited!
Okay…back to work!
Thanks for your prayers as we become a new family and expectantly wait to see how God transforms all of our lives.
