Last week will defiantly be a week to remember. First of all we are keeping very busy flying. And there always seems to be more flying than we can realistically do. Praise God that in about two months we should have an additional three staff members that are either returning after furlough or are coming to Lesotho for the first time. There are also some airplanes that are currently in Idaho at MAF headquarters that are getting fitted for service in Lesotho.
On Wednesday after an early flight I returned home to help as some carpet was installed in our house. (Thanks to those who helped out with this) Evi is very mobile but was having problems getting around our our linoleum tile floor partly because it was hard, falling apart and bitter cold as it is the dead of winter now. With the carpet it helps to solve all of these problems and she can actually walk around when she is not wearing her foot. It is a huge blessing for us, and really increases Evi's freedom. She is now able to get out of bed by herself and move around on her own without her foot. Ad a part of the process I had to move all of our furniture out of the house including my desktop that I brought from America. After I moved it back to the front room and plugged it in I got some major errors and upon some research and disassembling of my computer I found two pins on my CPU that were broken off. I am hoping that I can find a new processor here in Lesotho and hopefully get my computer running again. That is the reason why there are no new pictures or updates on the Blog.
Today all of us MAFers went to the top of the Berea (plateau overlooking Maseru) to have a picnic lunch for fathers day. I took a kite and we had a blast playing with the kids and eating Kentucky Fried Chicken. Yes there are a few American conveniences here in Maseru.
Next week is going to be a busy one with only two pilots flying all week. The rest of them are gone on furlough or are off on a well needed vacation. You can be praying for safety as we will be doing a lot of flying this next week.

So glad you were able to get carpet installed...yes, much easier on Evi's little knees I'm sure! We have hardwood floors here and it's a little hard but at least it's not bitter cold (yet)! :) How is Evi's leg healing? Any probs? Chloe went swimming for the first time on Friday WITH her leg! It was quite interesting...never thought she could do that but the prosthetist said nothing could hurt that leg...so off we went! Chloe was in "kid heaven"! I'll post picts soon of our day! Hope you get your computer up and running soon!
Love in Christ...
Evi's leg is doing good. Slowly getting better, still some small wounds. She is actually getting the hang of walking on her "little foot" on the carpet. We worked with the physical therapists in Dallas but she wasn't ready yet. Thats one of the nice things about the symes amputation, she can get up in the middle of the night and walk to the bathroom herself!!
