Back home

We are now back home from another awesome trip. God blessed the trip so much. We have a lot to reflect on and be thankful for. All of our orphans are safe and healthy. The guardians had a lot of thanks they give to their sponsors. They all said their orphans are more healthy this year since the program started. So I also join the guardians and say thank you to all of our sponsors. It's because of your continual sacrificial giving that we have an orphan program and that our orphans are doing so well. If you want to join us for a future trip and to meet the orphan you sponsor, le us know. That would be great.

More from Kenya

We had a very successful day on Sunday at church in the morning with our kenyan friends and then we had our fairwell lunch with Owi Kenya. We had such a good week with them. It was hard to leave. On Monday we drove to Masai Mara for safari. Gideon knew a shortcut which cut off an hour or two on the drive, but it was the bumpiest ride I've been on. We definitely saw the back roads of Kenya. We went out on safari yesterday and we just saw hippos today. Rene is really happy. Tomorrow we head for Nairobi and then home in the evening. God has really blessed our trip.

Mo

It has been a busy couple of days. I met with the social workers yesterday and today,and saw the plot of land we want to buy. Today, we met with the orphans and guardians. Some shared how the orphan program has changed their lives. This afternoon, they had a wedding celebration for Rene and me. We rode in an oxen cart to the church. The church was packed for the celebration.. It was really nice.

More from kenya

We have had a good two days. Yesterday we went to a member's house from the church, had lunch and then had a bible study meeting together. Today I met with the social workers and Del and Rene went to the field to see the farms. They got to meet the chief of the village, too. It was a good day.

Yesterday we arrived safely to kiminini after a nine hour drive. I thank God for our driver Gideon who had to drive over many potholes and maneuver through dangerous traffic. Today we had a busy day. We attended the funeral service and burial for our orphan Lorna. It was a beautiful ceremony and she was a precious girl of 13 years. After that, we went to the home of Del's orphan. It was really nice for them to meet each other. And Charles loves the match cars Del got him. That's all for now. I'll write again soon.
