Hats!

Today was the day we passed out the hats in the nursery!  Lots of excitement as they picked out their favorite from the large assortment that the ladies of First Presbyterian knit.  I told them that ladies from my church in America were thinking of them as they knit.  They loved that and said ”thank you” over and over again.  It does not take much to make them very happy!  So ladies keep your nibble fingers going as you are appreciated in Kenya! 

Today we had a little hymn sing outside in the morning sun!  They were mopping the floor in nursery and so we had to wait to get in.  What better way to spend our time on a beautiful morning than to sing praises!  Many songs are universal and it always is amazing to me as we sing “Jesus Loves Me” or “Amen” in English and Swahili!  The Lord is much bigger than ever imagine.

People often ask me, what do you do over there?  Well the answer is many things that are not so exotic!  For the last three afternoons a friend and I have been sorting through clothing that has been donated for orphanages and needy people.  Right now we have bins stacked up in our living room waiting to go into storage.  So an answer to that question, I do what needs to be done!  We are actually going to have a garage sale here next week of clothing we cannot give away with the proceeds going to the needy people’s fund.

Our power has been really erratic the last couple of days.  We have spent many hours in candlelight!  However, today we have power and more importantly it rained!  It rained hard and long which is truly an answer to prayer.  Tonight we are eating in the guesthouse to celebrate the birthday of the German medical student who is here for three months.  Homemade pizza is on the menu!  We love meeting people from all over who come to serve here.

Till next time,

Hugs,
