He hasn't told any of his family.  Nor the in-laws.  And he won't let our team come over yet.  He wanted to have Papa Jim first.  Just wanted to honor him and bless him and thank him for the great gift he gave.  You see, it was Papa Jim that gave all the money for the land.  And it was Papa Jim that gave all the money to build the house.  And even though the house isn't finished, it's livable.  In fact, he told his wife that they should keep on working on the  house and not move in for another month.  She told him that he could keep on renting if he wanted to, but she was moving into the new house!  So that was that!

It's much bigger than we expected.  All 1,900 square feet of it.  They have a glass front door.  Very nice.  And the bedrooms are large.  All four of them.  They have two bathrooms inside and one more outside.  He has a small office.  She has a large walk-in pantry and a lovely kitchen.  Plus an outdoor kitchen.  Very necessary for Cameroonian cooking. The girls are so excited.  While they could each have their own room, they have opted to continue sharing a room.

We brought them a house warming gift.  Two young hens just ready to start laying.  One young rooster. They were very excited.  The girls each claimed a hen and quickly came up with names.

Can't think of a better use for our small retirement fund than to help Guy and Marie, little Marie and Persil have a home of their own.  Now they need a dog.  We're keeping our eyes open for one.  So if you hear of anything, let us know.
