...are the crew of Grace and Njoka! I have to get them introduced for it is our last week together!! Can't believe that Friday is graduation! I will be anxious for the break and thrilled to send them out empowered people to make a difference in their villages. But, I will also sadly miss them all! Esthar to the right standing is our oldest in the class. She actually is not biologically Grace and Njoka's child but like many African families they take children in who need homes to live in. She is a wonderful leader and so good with the younger children. Elizabeth is also a good leader. She has learned a great deal with her alphabet and they both have come a long way in their weeks with us. They are the strongest six year oldest I have ever met! Yemima perched in the tree is a hoot! She is all of four but has the most genuine pastor's heart. Her mom shared in class last week how she wasn't feeling well and Yemima stopped in her tracks, laid hands on her momma, and began praying. Quite a little four year old that I think even surprised her momma! Tears glistened in her eyes as she realized the heart of her dear child. Stefano is six months and such a bright eyed little boy! He will be staring in our graduation skit as the Innkeeper's son tied snugly on the little Innkeeper's wife in our skit telling of the birth of Jesus. He is very happy to be in the middle of things for sure and has the best little smile. He wasn't quite so sure of the camera so you can't get the full affect. But, you can take my word for it! This family is filled with passionate people and I believe that they are going to make a mighty difference in the name of Jesus here in Tanzania!
