Still Waiting

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I am still waiting to get my camera back from the states. The good news is that Sony says it is now repaired and is under warranty. Now I just have to wait two more weeks to get it in the mail. We are doing well, and this last weekend I have been building a jungle gym for the kids. It will have a slide, climbing wall an other things that will keep Evi active. She is very excited, and cant wait for it to be done. I will send photos soon... Also be on the lookout for an article on Evi in the Dallas morning news next Sunday. I will post a link once the story comes out.

A Full Team

For the first time since we left last year we finally have a full team here in Lesotho. Two families who were on furlough returned to work this Wednesday, meaning that all eight staff families are here in Lesotho. It is great to have everyone back and to share some of the workload that we have been maintaining recently.
The family is doing great and we have recently added two 5 weeks old kittens to the mix. Evi and mommy love the kittens and have named them Biscuit and cookie. Caleb also loves the new family members but loves to pick them up and squeeze them or throw them.
I am borrowing a friends camera this weekend and hope to get some pictures up soon.

Our weekend

Leslie and I just returned from Family conference. We had a great time at the game lodge and enjoyed spending time with some of the other MAF families and the ministry team from the states. We spent all day last thursday driving to the conference and today (monday) we drove back to Lesotho. We were able to view a variety of African wildlife such as Giraffe, Wildabeast, Blesbok, Baboon, Impala, Eland, Kudu, Zebra, Warthog and other wildlife.
There were some great photo ops, but that wasn't possible due to my broken camera. After Evi's accident I purchased a new digital camera. It worked great but about two weeks ago I noticed a dark spot on all the pictures due to dust on the lens. No big deal I thought and took it to a Sony service place in South Africa. They were not able to fix it but in the process broke the flash, and when I received the camera back from them it wouldn't even turn on anymore. So now I have an almost new camera that wont even turn on. The team from the states is taking it back with them to Texas, but from my conversations with Sony it doesn't sound like it will be fixed under warranty. Oh well, maybe it's time for another camera.
Anyways, that is the story as to why I don't have any amazing photos of African animals from our family conference.

Family Conference

IT is 5AM and we are off to family conference. We appreciate your prayers for safe travels (about a 8 hours drive) and for a time of renewal and refreshment. There is a team coming from the states to lead our conference.
Love,
The Hulls
