The Guineas Have Arrived!

Finally, after a few months of waiting, the guinea fowl we ordered are here. 31 made it here alive and we still have 28. Three died in one day of unknown causes (we were not home... it looks like they got trampled in a guinea pile). Everyone else looks healthy, though there are about 4 that are much smaller than the rest. THey are getting bigger and growing their wing feathers. With these feathers they are also starting to flap around in their box. THe girls love to watch them and play with them, though they do need CONSTANT supervision, for the safety of the birds.

Meanwhile, we have been busy. We helped orchestrate a Vacation Bible School last week. It was enjoyed by an average of 15 kids per night. We also have begun working with the local Pregnancy Help Center and would appreciate prayers for this ministry, our part in it, the other volunteers, the young pregnant woman who lives at the center and the upcoming Walk 4 Life (annual fundraiser).

We have pictures. i'll send them soon. :)
