Kitchen Update
The building is done! The building for the kitchen is completed, and it looks fantastic!
Renee our master builder did a wonderful job. The tile floor looks amazing. The windows and doors are in, lights and fan hung and thanks to Terry and the May group the inside is painted a beautiful, ric
h color. Special thanks to the team for buying the paint and painting the room. 
We received a container that had loads of supplies in it. I don't know where you got the tables Terry but they are perfect! Stove, microwave, pots and pans. Hundreds of cups, bowls and plates. Thanks to Randy's family for all the work you have done loading and shopping for all these goodies. It was like Christmas morning around here when Jen and I unpacked all the goodies. We made a spread sheet for inventory and I was amazed at how many things were sent for our use. It was awesome.
Things were really moving along and then they came to a screeching halt. Well I shouldn't say a halt. But they have definitely slowed. We are now in the paperwork process. We are filling out a questionnaire on each child. We need their names, school times,
ages, allergies etc. After the paperwork is finished we will have an open house were the children can pick up their ID cards, sign a sheet agreeing to follow all the rules and agreeing that they know the 
consequences.
Well the paperwork is slow going. We have to go to each house and fill out a sheet for each family member ages 2-12, or if the child is over 12 and still in school they will be
allowed to eat in the kitchen while they stay in school. We have to personally ask and fill out each question as most of the people can't read or write very well. 
We have been using the Kitchen as a classroom for now. I can tell you it is a blessing. We have so many children and no classrooms. We have
been trying to raise money to build them but the going is slow. We have anywhere from 65-96 children on Sunday mornings and up to 169 for 
VBS. Last week Fabs and I had 46 under the age of 6. I don't know what we would do without having the kitchen to meet in. It is not easy to 
watch that many young children out in the open.
We are narrowing down the list of possible names. I think we have a winner. We will let you know. Please keep praying for us, the kitchen, the children,
the church and the open hearts of everyone here. We love and miss all.

Hi Melissa, we are DELIGHTED that the pile of dirt we saw in the spring is now a place to feed the hearts and bodies of these children. Blessings abounding!
Love's prayers,
Kay
