Our new house on the YWAM base!!



How many people does it take to move the Wright family from their rental house in town to their newly built house on the YWAM base?

A LOT!


Starting to load the Wright truck







Benjamin and Adam take apart shelves











William, Bosco and Mario load up the Diguna lorry











Maria sweeps the bedroom













Eric is ready...the lorry is full











Jeff opens the gate for the lorry to set out from the Wrights' rental house











Yolam and team follow the lorry to the YWAM base













The Wright family leaves their rental property for the last time









The Diguna lorry enters the YWAM compound










The lorry and the Wrights drive through the YWAM base to the farthest corner where the new house is waiting









'thar she blows!'
















Most of the team that helped with the move in many different ways













Even putting in the lightbulbs was a team effort!











The ladies did an awesome job cleaning the new house so all we had to do was unpack and move in!










The little ladies cheered us on from the sidelines and did a great job staying out of the way













Now, a couple weeks later, here's what the inside looks like, starting with the view from the kitchen towards the dining room and front doors,








looking from the sitting room through the dining room towards the kitchen,











looking towards the dining room from the sitting room












Kezi, Noah and friends in the sitting room playing with play-do,












Looking into the sitting room from the back door with John's study in background










The kids' bathroom















Aidan's first night in his OWN room











Noah and Kezi's first night in their new room

















Kezi and Noah's room by day













Vikki's favorite room in the whole house...her study!













It was a lot of work, but we did it!!!

Many thanks to all who pitched in and made the move
fun, quick and somewhat 'easy'.

We couldn't have done it without you guys!

Dear Vikki and John,
I'm delighted you are finally into your own house on the YWAM base and do trust you will soon be feeling really settled there.
Hope this year will be a special one for all of you.
Much love, Barbara
