This month has turned out to be quite an interesting one. I am now nearing the end of my time here, only four more days of ministry yet. Last month, we prayed that we would have a lot of time for rest. Well, that is happening! It seems like we have not done much ministry, yet I am still exhausted (go figure).
We have done a couple of days of door to door evangelism, which was much more difficult than in Rwanda. People will gladly welcome us into their homes, yet it has been much harder to talk to them. Because of that, it has been discouraging. We also have been hanging out at Ephraim Orphanage painting the buildings. When we are there, the kids are all in classes. There are a few young ones running about with chicken pox, so we love on them, but that has been about it. Things have been a little discouraging because of that. However, painting has been enjoyable-I miss doing manual labor like that.
I am learning how much space means to me. With all four of us crammed into a small space, we do not have much time alone. Even when we sleep it is very evident that all of us are in the same space. I have had to work through these things, and still haven’t completely worked through this. I think when I get home I will appreciate my alone time so much more; however, it will be extremely weird to be alone and have no one around at times. I can’t even picture or begin to imagine what that will be like.
I am also hitting the point where I really miss my car-maybe not so much my car, but the ability to go where I want when I want. Up until now I haven’t minded having to rely on others to drive me around, not being able to go somewhere when I want to, etc. But I really do miss it.
I know, no big things seem to be happening this month (hence the lack of blogs!). But, these are just of few of my ponderings as I go through my daily life in Kenya. Time to eat dinner-another meal of, guess what, rice and beans!
