Playing soccer at the top of the airstrip

 starting to organize the kitchen...

 

so sometimes this was necessary:)

  

Gideon and Roman on the front porch one morning watching a Momma pig and her piglets

 one day our water stopped running so we took a trip to the water source

 our water flows from a stream into this orange tank located around 300 meters up the mountain from our house

 yep, it was empty

 Roman was happy to play in the water

 After playing for a little bit, I took the boys home and Dylan, Raquel and all the other kids followed the pipe that runs from the tank through the bush to our house.  They found and repaired a few leaks and our water came back.  Hurray!

 This little boy carried this board down the mountain for us.  The people have carried wood for all of our houses.  It's located about a half hour hike up the mountain.  A lot of times the women carry their babies in a bag on their back and a piece of wood on their head.  Very resourceful:)

 Raquel getting instructions as Dylan works on some electrical project on a rainy night.  Raquel is a big help.  She even knows how to turn on the generator on and off when Dylan needs to use certain tools.
