Guesthouse Ministry, Cooking and Grilling and Admin work

 


Jacob has fun grilling burgers and pork steaks for our guests each week. Now he has help. :)

Rumbi works at the guesthouse with us. But once every few weeks she is called upon to make tortillas for the store. She sells them as another part of her income. She can make 20 dozen tortillas in an 8 hour day! It is amazing!

Rumbi, Fiona and Georgie - I'm so thankful that we can work together with them as a team at the guesthouse!

And for a few months we have Nicole joining us on our guesthouse team for a few hours each week. She is a senior and high school and she is doing a work study with us at the guesthouse. She has been a huge help!

And here is where I organize the menus, bookings, billings and to do lists. 


Kiso, our guesthouse driver.... he is very dependable and we are so thankful to have him. He does all our airport runs to town and back as well as shopping runs for ladies who aren't able to drive here.

One most important thing... Water... we need Water to run the guesthouse... cooking, drinking, bathing, flushing toilets, etc.... and so we are thankful that Jacob is able to monitor the water system on centre. Even our guests help him out with their expertise.

Good Food!

 

I make granola bars for our family for snack. It is great for a quick snack for the kids to take to school.

Once in awhile we get a treat from America!

For Christmas my mom sent me money for a new toaster oven. The one on the left I bought in 2005 when I first met Jacob, so it was fun to buy a new one... the glass is so clean, I can see Naomi's face in it. :)

Banana Blueberry bread and banana muffins for snacks! Yum!

A little Valentines cake and ice cream. :)

Our store just got a food container from America! First one since Oct last year! We are excited!

Happy 11th Birthday Jonathan!

 

Wow! I can't believe he is now 11 years old! Time has been flying by! And we are so proud of how God is forming and shaping him as he learns each year!






Friend party time!

Stromboli for lunch - party time!


I found a new recipe for the most delicious GF cake, dairy free, sweetened with coconut sugar... AND a white frosting, base of cashew! :)





Almost everyone didn't realize it was a healthy cake. :)

First step in training dogs: have somewhere to put them.


Step one complete, courtesy of random unused building materials found around the center.



Step two: get the dogs.

Step three: feed them


Step four: feed them even more.



Step Five get them big and healthy



Step six, train people not the dogs.

A Swim, a lunch and friend time

 

Jonathan and Naomi like to help me in nursery when I help out by watching the babies to three year olds so the moms can go to church on Sundays. They love to read to the kids! We volunteer for this about once a month.

Who knew that under the picnic table there was a fort!? with Nathan, James and Naomi


Chalk can be very colorful with Naomi S, Naomi D and Lily


Whoa and that is a burger after a good swim!



Lunch with Levi and Robyn and family at the new Channel Inn... a new restaurant in town. Yum!




Evey and Miyah and Naomi enjoying some burgers.

Snack time at the guesthouse.

And playtime too
