Two Weeks Away
I think the tentative schedule once we arrive in Namibia on Feb 20th is to have Mike Knight pick us up at the airport in Windhoek. Then we will head back to Okahandja and spend the night there with Dieter and Joan as our hosts, and pick up our rental car in the morning.

We will likely then head out to Arandis on the 21st, as Mike has offered to help out with a conference that Pastor Tresford Banda is holding over the weekend. But it could also be that we head out there early on the 22nd. The program starts Friday night. Then it will be almost two weeks in Arandis, at Nan's house, where I stayed last year. I'm assuming we will be making 4-5 trips out to Swakopmund, on the coast, as that is where most of our shopping will be accomplished. Hopefully we can also bring some of the children on a little field trip out there and go to the dunes or the beach.

On the 4th or 5th of March, we will head back to Okahandja for another night or two. While in Okahandja, we hope to visit with the children at the Ark, another orphanage. With any luck, Mike will still have access to a vehicle so we can turn in our rental and save a few dollars on daily rent and mileage.

Our final destination will be Rehoboth. During our time here we will be staying at Sylvia's house. Here I will be working on 3-4 computer systems that I did not get to during my last trip. We will also help dismantle a playground that will eventually be transported from Rehoboth to Arandis. Hopefully I can get some pictures and video of the Beads of Promise/Seeds of Hope beading operation so I can build a website and help promote the sale of the beads here in the States. I will also be making a trip back into Windhoek with Sylvia to meet her sister and discuss a couple of web sites she might like me to build for her.

[REVISED]

On Saturday, March 8th, we will also be witnessing the renewal of marriage vows between Sylvia and Richard and we will be attending the International Women's Day festivities where Jackie will be the guest "International" speaker. [How could I have forgotten that!]

On Monday the 10th, Mike will drop us off back at the airport for our flight back home to arrive on the 11th.

What Matters

As you let God's design be worked out in you, you will see its impact in others and for generations.

Sometimes it's not about your ability to do something, but your availability to do it that is more important.
