At the end of November we made our way to Johannesburg to
wait for our son’s birth. On December 15th, we became a family of
four! Lesedi Zander is such a sweet baby boy. Our little eight-week old loves
people, smiling and laughing, snuggling, and spending time with his big sister while
trying not to get smoothered or accidentally kicked. Haha!
If you follow us on Facebook, you probably saw that Lesedi
was in the hospital about two weeks ago. He had a chest x-ray that revealed he
may have an enlarged heart. We praise God that it was actually a misdiagnosis
and he is 100% fine! It was a difficult few days, but we are so thankful for
all of the wonderful messages and support we had during that time.

| Harmony reading to Lesedi |
Harmony just turned two years old in January and she is a
very bright and vibrant young lady. She loves singing songs, listening to
music, reading books and playing air guitar. She also loves people and especially
her little brother. She loves holding him, kissing him, and always wants to sit
next to him.
My (Leah’s) parents are still with us and will be heading
back to the US at the beginning of March. It has really been a joy and HUGE
help having them. My aunt and uncle were also here for a few weeks which was
really fun!
We arrived back in Lesotho in January and began reconnecting
with our business course graduates. We are following up with their business
plans, financial books and continuing in mentorship. We are pleased to already
see change in some of the businesses and in the hearts and attitudes of those
we taught. One of the entreprenuers let us know recently that the business
course saved his business. We are so pleased that our small effort has made such
a huge and lasting impact. Our next business course will begin in March and we
are planning to have a total of 6 classes over the course of this year.
Thank you for all you do for us. We are so grateful for the
love and support we know we have.
Loving Africa,
The Bakers Four
