Meetings and the mini-bus

The meeting that Daran and Teresa had with the owner of the empty buildings seemed to go well. Now we are just awaiting the survey results. Daran feels very positive about the meeting.

Saturday, Ian, Jabulane, and Daran attempted to meet with the Chief of Maphiveni to discuss plans for a community center. They waited for five hours and weren't able to meet with the Chief. They were able to pass notes to the Chief via the secretary and have another meeting scheduled for March 26. Please pray this meeting would actually happen and the results would be favorable.

We've been dealing with getting the certificate of inspection for the mini-bus for the last couple of weeks. However, there's a problem where the license plates had gotten changed and the old certificate doesn't match the blue book of ownership records. Daran has been helping us resolve this issue but we still have to drive it even though we don't have the proper paperwork on it. We have 500 Chips patients now, with the numbers increasing daily, and they need transportation to and from Good Shepherd hospital. Please pray that God would work out this situation.

Siphewe is doing so well and she is back in school. Popovdo is doing well too and looks like he's put on weight. They both like going to school (though sometimes we have to get on Popovdo to attend every day). We praise God for the difference He has made and is making in both of these precious children's lives.
