Hartnett Update - 2

Things are going well here. We've had lots of good time to interact with the church here and get caught up. I preached at church yesterday. Also, Beth Schanholtzer arrived late last week and spent a good bit of the weekend with us. We took her to church with us at Old Naledi yesterday. She really enjoyed the service and meeting the folks there. She heads off to the town of Lobatse today and will be in various locations around Botswana through November.

Please continue to pray for the young men leaders in the church, Mothusi, Moagi (MG), Lame (pronounced lom-aye), Joe, Champ and the others. Particularly pray for Champ. He is working extremely hard and is burdened by all the duties of directing the Tlamelo Project, serving as church treasurer, deacon, helping with the youth ministries, mens' study, and trying to keep up with his university studies. Quite a heavy set of responsibilities for a 22 year-old guy. He is a gem!

Barb has been having a great time talking with the ladies working at the Tlamelo Project and discussing the bible with them (while the food is cooking). I have been getting materials and the necessary tools lined up for our various projects. One of the other missionaries in Gaborone has all the power tools and other tools that we will need for the carpentry projects at Tlamelo.

The weather has been superb here. Sunny every day with daytime highs around 80 and nighttime lows around 50. We look forward to your arrival in a couple weeks.
Modimo o siame,
sala sentle,
Dave
