Business Weekly
Actually here the big name newspapers are The Standard and The Nairobi Star. The Nairobi Star just came out last month and for their first edition they had girls in shorts selling the papers on the streets.
The entire city was scandalized. : )
Ah, culture.
So, our time here, it cometh to an end.
August is our last full month in Nairobi. We will be canceling our internet service at the end of the month so our correspondence will be a bit sparse for a short while in September.
Before then there are a few business items you need to know.
We touch down in the Grand Old U.S. of A on September 19th. We’ll take a week to recover from jet lag and then march on to Washington State.
We’ll be in Washington September 26th to October 16th.
In both Washington and Minnesota we will be doing a Kenyan Open House to say thanks for what you’ve done for us.
We really want to give to you a taste (literally – Mint-Choc’s a comin’ your way.) of our time here and share the blessing of your ministry in Kenya.
As the time gets a little closer (and details a little clearer) we’ll get back to you on dates, times, and places.
For all of you dear ones stretched across the States in between. How we wish we could come see each of you personally. Know that you too are in our hearts and thoughts and we will do our best to catch up with you via phone/mail/email.
For those of you who have been supporting us financially. Here’s the scoop: As I said before, we return Sept.18th.
Because of our re-entry costs/needs Bethany will be accepting funds for us through November 30th. You are under no obligation to continue until this time but for those of you wishing to do so the set-up is still the same until Nov. 30th.
Any funds received after this time will be absorbed into Bethany International.
Roadsigns to be continued…
There is still so much to share. I will be, for a time, continuing Roadsigns/Kenya…maybe after that I’ll move on to Roadsigns/Minnesota.
Now there is a cultural place if ever there was one.
Stories that have remained untold (for the peace of mind of a few certain loved ones….Dad : -) will be the theme of our post-return newsletters.
All that to say…um, talk to you again soon. : )
I will try to send out the regular (fun) Roadsigns once more before we leave. And then you should hear from us shortly after our September return.
THANKYOU ONE AND ALL!!!! Not only for taking the time to read this but for your continued love, friendship, and support.
We have learned that the mission field can be a very lonely place…thanks for being friends at home that came to Kenya with us.
We can’t wait to share the experience!
Jared’s new role model…he’s a climber.
Hey Mom…check out my new friends!
Speaking of new friends…
