Thank you for praying and responding to our e-mails were very grateful to know that we are connected with our friends and family. Keziah is doing better after some thought and another day we realized she has most likely sustained a sprin to her knee. She slipped on the floor the other night and landed funny. There has been [...]
Please keep us in your prayers. Keziah seems to have developed an infection in her knee. We visited the Docter today and there are a few explanations for her symptoms (warm swollen knee, fever, pain – won’t put weight on her knee) but the most likely is infection. The Doctor told us to observe her for 24 hours and if [...]
Yes, for those of you who have been inquiring, I did cut my hair. About three weeks before we left for Nairobi I donated approximately 18 inches to Locks of Love; an organization that makes wigs for kids with cancer. I do miss my long hair at times but am loving the ease, the lack [...]
2-15-07 Today has been one of those way too frustrating days. Today we had hopes to have security doors installed. So we were grounded to our house waiting for the workmen to come. Rahab came and worked through the morning while we waited for them to arrive. It was a crazy thing to sit in anticipation of [...]
How many uses can you get out of a pail of water? Here’s what I found: 1. Use bucket of water to wet and rinse your hair. 2. Take that same bucket of water to soap your clothes saving out a small portion to wash your child or let her wash the walls/clothes/toys/entertain herself. 3. When finished washing [...]
WE HAVE WATER! Today at about 4:00pm the meter was fitted and our apartment was no longer a water free zone. For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about here’s the skinny: We have been in our flat for about 3 weeks. In all that time we have been borrowing water [...]
Please pray that we get water soon. No don’t worry we are not wasting away in a parched dessert. What I mean is that the water meter has not arrived in our beautiful new flat. Thus we are “jerry canning it” (ie. borrowing water by the jerry can full from our gracious neighbors). All the paperwork [...]
Today was a major purchase day. We spent the morning taking us money and turning it into Kenyan Shillings. We went to AIM (Africa Inland Mission) where Dan and Nancy have a bank account kind of, it is more like a fund but anyway. We had to get 250,000 shillings for a car. It is [...]
As I type this Keziah is sitting at the table watching Veggie Tales and chowing down on a passion fruit. For those of you who have never had the privilege of tasting this fruit it is a bit sour, crunchy, slippery…you’d have to taste it. It’s a bit of a sensory overload for [...]
The second day was one of high adventure and sleep depravation. Dan and I had spoken about the possibility of me going with him to a teaching engagement at PAC (Pan African Christian College) together we went. It is funny how God does not allow we to walk away from my mechanic abilities, just the [...]
