no different for the teens here. One of our goals while we are here is to help the two teens by spending time with them, having Bible studies and providing jobs. Jobs are very scarce here. On the way home from church on Sunday I asked one of the house mothers if the girls behaved well. She said "Yes, but they are very lazy." That seems to be the consent of the staff here, too. You can pray that we would be able to instill some work ethic into these girls while teaching them it is not what we want but what God wants for them!
Work in the garden is plentiful and they seem to enjoy it when there is an adult present.
Dieketseng has taken on the responsibility of watering newly planted areas of the garden. She does this before school and in the afternoon (Top photo). Yesterday we did some investigating and found a corn kernel that had sent a root into the ground with the sprout ready to surface.
Grandma Susie has been tutoring the girls and helping with homework. Some of them are very far behind in school.

Lindie and Liam are doing a wonderful job training Baby Charlie in the skills he needs to be a part of their family. They are both thrilled to have him here and can't wait for him to be able to eat and play with them! The fish is Charlie's birthday gift from them.
