Finale

We are moving into the home stretch at Gamasara. All the big stuff is moved, and the kids plan to sleep there Sunday night. They will each be assigned a section of the shamba (farm) and be expected to work in it and share the food with all of Angel House. Thanks to seed donations from generous people in The States, many new types of food will be eaten by our Angels in the coming months.

Today, I took Nosi, our youngest Angel, out for lunch. She has been working very hard during the move, and the best way to thank Nosi is through her stomach. You may recall she was left at the garbage dump as an infant and brought to Angel House by the police. No one expected her to live, but Nosi is a survivor! Her mischievous spirit and playful humor are evidence of that. She doesn't have an easy role as the youngest Angel but Nosy carries it off with grace beyond belief.

One of our new angels arrived today! Joseph Hula, 10 year-old brother of Rosie and Mwita, was sitting at the entrance when I arrived at the orphanage today. As soon as he told me his name, I saw Rosie and Mwita's reflections in his face. If he acts as much like his siblings as he resembles them in looks, we have a wonderful new addition to our family.

Every day, I thank God that I am here during the move to Gamasara. I also praise Him for the wonderful Goodwill Hospital in Tarime. They have treated me so often for malaria that they now call me "Mother Africa"! I suppose they think I'm a blood relation with every mosquito in Africa.
