"AND NOW FOR THE REST OF 'THE MOPANI WORM AND SEPTIC HOLE' STORY ” (April 3, 2018 update)

Remember this little guy? Let me explain. 


Last year Sidney asked Construction Boss, Pieter West Van Huessen for a quote to dig a septic hole. His first response was to challenge Sidney? “IF you will eat a Mopani worm, we will dig your septic hole free for your orphanage.” After thinking and praying about it for 3 days, Sidney finally said she would do it!! And she did!  With great trepidation, she swallowed that worm in front of witnesses. 
Pieter told his guys to finish digging the hole when HHTH returned this year. Thevani, the current manager,asked when we wanted it done, to which we responded, “Today would be the best day because the Easter holiday is coming.”
To our utter delight, Thevani followed through and we waited for the “hole diggin’ machine” to show up. Janco guided him down the dirt road to a tiny settlement where he was to turn right at a one room shack, cross over the barbed wire fence, turn left across a field of thorns and up to the partially dug hole. 
Jabu (which means “happiness”) quickly began to dig the hole deeper and clean out the boulder size rocks. Our new hole is now ready for the septic man to build it! So Pastor Budeli will get that organized.
