Dear friends and family
Well it has been a while since we have talked too many of you now and we miss you all very
much. Hope you are all doing well. Things are going fine here we are defiantly getting busier by
the day.
Sarah is currently in charge of the play school for august because Karen has gone home for the
month. She is working there three days a week and on here off days she is doing the book work
for voh. Only Arabic is spoken in the play school so Sarah is having fun learning new words and
songs from the kids. There are three Moroccan girls who work with Sarah two of them are
Ch***tions and the other Muslim so she is enjoying getting to know them.
Brent is currently getting ready for harvesting the fruits. The first thing we will be harvesting is the
pears, those will be ready this week but we don’t have boxes to put them in so I will be picking
some up on Monday. Our main crop is the apples those will be ready in the first of Sept. but we
are having moth problems with those right now so our crop isn’t very good. We will use and sell
the good ones and with the bad apples we will make jam and sell it. We are trying to
come up with a positive and practical solution for next year. We are also getting ready for a
winter crop so we are tilling the ground in between the trees. That is hard work and we hope to
have other tools to use next year.
There are two Moroccans that I work with on a regular basis there names are Moha and Mezi you
could be praying for them directly Mezi is a Chr*stian but he is not doing well spiritually and Moha
just plain needs Christ. I have become friend with both of them and like them a lot Moha doesn’t
speak English and Mezy does so we are able converse. I have also been making friends with
many of the builders but not as fast because I am not working with them daily. We have been to
dinner at a few of there houses.
Sarah and I with four of the Muller children
Kareem, Nesine, Adam, Neshma
We are both talking language classes at village of hope the doors did not really open for us to
stay in fez and they asked us to stay her at voh instead. So there is a teacher here who is giving
me a beginner Arabic course and Sarah is going to be learning Berber as soon as she freshens
up on her Arabic first.
We have voh team meeting every Thursday afternoon and talk about various things that go on
during the week and what needs to happen with the children etc.etc. You could be praying
continually about those meetings because they can be tense at times. An we pray that god is
always guiding the decisions that are maid for voh
