working with Reverend Ayub and Reverend Ruth. We are staying in a house
connected to the Reverend’s so we have a lot of ‘family’ time with them
and their two kids. This month we will be working in the church
painting, cleaning, and anything else we are asked to do there. We will
also be handing out food in the slum areas and visiting schools and
orphanages. The Reverend also wants Dustin and I to hold a young
couples forum with the couples in the church later this month to
encourage them and hopefully get them involved in small groups.
Now
let me tell you about Africa! In all honesty, neither Dustin or I had
really thought about coming to Africa until this trip, and still then
didn’t know what to expect. When we got off the plane and stepped into
the crisp air in Nairobi, we started getting excited. Nakuru is a
beautiful place with lots of green pastures and a huge African sky that is normally filled with white clouds and rain in the afternoons.
We
are enjoying playing with the children and talking at many different
schools. People here love ‘mzungus’ or white people and we always
attract a big crowd wherever we go.
It’s been a great start to
Africa and we are so happy to be here for the whole month. Continue to
pray for our health as one of our teammates has already gotten malaria
in the one week we’ve been here, and there have also been people on other teams that have gotten malaria and typhoid. They have medicine here and know how
to treat them both very well and very inexpensively, but pray that they heal quickly and the rest of us
stay healthy to do the work God has for us in Kenya. We love you!!
