You do know that there are six ladies..

This is Ellen. I had a little trouble getting her family all together for one picture, as you can see. What can I say about Ellen... Well she is a Zionist and also a widow. Obviously she is the sole provider for her family. You can see that she was just out of church, this is one of the uniform the Zionist wear to church. It always amazes me that they are able to keep them so very white, and they sparkle white. These two boys are her youngest and as you can see she is very proud of them. The picture was taken in front of there home.


As we walked along we found her daughter, what a beauty she looks like her mom don't you think?


Finally we found her oldest, a son, he is the only one that is out of school at this point. Hmmm maybe he helps with the income. I can't remember if she told me that he had a job. Regardless she has a big job raising her family alone.

Ellen also works for me, yes indeed, she cleans for me once a week. Let me tell you if it was this cheep in the states everyone would have a cleaning lady.  She gets R 50 for half of a day, that is less than $5.50.  Yep it true. It's great for me but I do feel a little guilty :/. Ellen doesn't speak a lot of English, but you can tell what she is thinking by the expression on her face. She has a beautiful smile and winning personality. She is trying to teach me a little Zulu and I do mean a little. Angazi (meaning "I don't know") its a good word for me because I can use it often.


Please pray for Ellen and her family. I don't really know where she stands with Jesus, just because one is a Zionist doesn't mean they follow the teaching of the Bible.
