Guard Duty on the farm

Our farm guards make us feel safe and sound while living in a semi-rural part of Zambia.

There are usually 3-4 guards scheduled during the day and another 4 at night.
We have 10 guard dogs on the farm, all which are quite capable of catching things in the night whether it be rats, snakes or keeping out intruders...
I always wanted a dog and now have 10!!! Here are a few photos to share with you,
yes, these are rats that were caught around the farm

WOW! A six foot cobra? How terrifying! I bet they got a big bonus for catching that one...did they try digging it up agan and appearing at the door for another bonus?!!?
The blessings of Africa....so very true.

I wanted you to know that in honour of you, I sat down and watched a 'Hallmark Hall of Fame' movie entitled, 'Pictures of Hollis Woods'. It was fantastic! And so were the commercials!!!
I will have you know, I think I cried enough for the both of us! It was a beautiful story of how this orphan girl named Hollis journeyed through life, and finally found a family.

Anyhow, been thinking and praying for you lots. So excited about the sponsorship through Project Hope.

Looking forward to our skype chat on Monday,
Much love,
Rachelle :)
