I'm a very poor blogger

Hello friends and family!

So half a year has elapsed since my last posting - I was really hoping I'd be better about blogging. Please forgive my silence and bear with me as I make an effort to improve!

So since July much has happened and too much to blog about but here are some highlights:

AUGUST: Family Conference in South Africa with MAF South Africa and Mozambique
SEPTEMBER: Language classes in Maphutseng (Place of the Big Pumpkin) Living in a village no electricity or running water for 3 weeks - loved it!
OCTOBER: MAF Half Day of Prayer, Tamara & Danger's Wedding (My first Basotho wedding) Jen Prickett comes for a week long visit, Women Missionaries in Lesotho Retreat
NOVEMBER: Deb Schuermann comes for a 2 week visit, Pilanesberg Game Park Safari, Sani Pass Trip, Accident with Refuoe, Thanksgiving celebration with all American missionaries living in Lesotho
DECEMBER: First ever MAF All Girls Sleepover/Chrstmas Party, Christmas with crocodiles, hippos and turtles (oh my) in St Lucia, MAF Team New Year's Eve Party, Caring for Refuoe and her family in the hospital
JANUARY: Refuoe flies home to Mokhotlong on an MAF plane completely healed, Leading worship on a praise band@Maseru United Church
FEBRUARY: Watching the Superbowl @ 3am, Clarens trip for a Mountain Bike Race with Bryan & Teresa, Begin my M-F gym routine, Seeing U2 Live in Joburg... so cool!
MARCH: MIS Orphanage - a visit with HIV/AIDS orphans with Shelley, An incredibly HUGE full moon, My second Basotho wedding but this time the King and government officials were in attendance, The gym continues... My first MAF flight!!!!


You can see it has been a full half a year with safaris, trips, ministry opportunities, etc. I imagine most of you get my newsletter and if so you have been able to read the story about Refuoe in detail. If you don't, please let me know and I'll add you to the email list and send you a PDF copy of the latest newsletter which shares the story in detail. March brings the Autumn with it and the temp at night is cooling down. I'm hoping this means the mosquito population will soon die off. As it is... my legs resemble something of a dot to dot - - I itch everywhere!

Life here continues to be amazing, difficult, joy-filled and honestly there isn't anything I would rather be doing than being a missionary in Africa. I'll post a few pics for you to see some images of the past 6 months. Hope you enjoy them!

Love from Lesotho,
Kimberly
