We are a group of young couples from Valley Church in West Des Moines, Iowa who have felt God's call to help The Pines Christian Care Center for Children in Welkom, South Africa as they care for children who have been orphaned by the AIDS Pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa.

With one work day left, we are very close to completing the flat. Today we got all of the walls primed and painted and most of the trim painted. We only have finish work left on the walls and the ceiling in the kitchen. Jenny and Anne got their hair braided by the house mothers.
For dinner tonight, we treated ourselves to Dros, a popular South African steakhouse chain. Kris tried his luck with driving in South Africa (left side of the road) on the way to dinner and Kevin tried out his driving skills on the way back. No major dents to report in the Combie bus!
The best news of the day was Ntswaki (Pictured in the Purple, front-left) coming home from the hospital earlier than expected. She seems to be doing well - A real answer to prayer. We ended the night with a "Welcome Home" party for Ntswaki, sending the kids off to bed with bellies full of ice cream - the house mothers must love us :-)
Our Devotion of the day was from 2 Timothy 2
