We have some good news in which we rejoice much! The newest addition to our family is on its way. We do not know yet whether it is a boy or girl, but either way, it is on its way. This week we were at the doctor's in Pongola and she said the pregnancy is 13 weeks along. And she said the baby is due May 13, 2015.
You can pray with us for the baby and a safe wonderful delivery.
