Week 22

The wall just needs one more coat of paint
 and it's finished  :)

I apologize in advance for this entry, it may not be very detailed or flow very well. I have a cold and my brain is kind of foggy so I am having a hard time thinking about this past week and writing this blog so it makes sense! I started writing about 3 or 4 times and I'm not really sure what stood out to me about this week or if anything eventful really happened. I got sick on Wednesday, so in the afternoon Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I just relaxed and watched movies and had a few visitors come visit me, which was nice. I worked on girls home things this week as well. One morning, we painted the girls home, I worked on job descriptions for volunteers and social workers. I went to Enjabulweni at the beginning of the week to collect the last of the pen pal letters with Mary-Kate's students. It's been a good week but also don't feel like anything jumps out about this week. However, on Wednesday, I had a meeting with Titi and Marcia, two of Mary-Kate and my friends about how to help Tenele since she's been kicked out of her mother's home. We are going to see Tenele on Sunday and she what she needs, if baby Lucia is up to date on her vaccines, if maybe some weekends she wants to spend at Titi or Marcia's home. They aren't able to have her full time but they want to help her and make sure Tenele knows she's loved and supported in caring for her daughter and herself. She's only 18 years old and she needs all the support she can get. So if you could pray for Tenele and her future and for us here around her just to know what to do next and how to help her succeed, it would be greatly appreciated! I pray that God continues to work in her life and all of our lives and leads us in the direction we are to go!
