Picturessssss!

Hey!
I'm sitting at Brackenhurst, enjoying the sunshine and warmth, and wondering how it is that I've been here a week already! Since I'm sure photos are much more exciting than reading my novels... here goes!

BORDERS FRIENDS!

The kids LOVED the stuff you sent - especially the string game book! Gedion demonstrating broomstick...

... Susan attempting Jacob's ladder!

...Njogu trying to decipher the directions... it was hard for him, but the older kids were able to figure it out! THANK YOU! I've been using my stuff, too - love the snacks, and I used the laudry soap this week :)

Jacintah, just bein' her cute self!

Eric and Gedion! These expressions are very similar to the looks I got when I told them that Mum Deanna, Samantha, Jeremy, and Rachael were coming... love these silly boys!

Njogu and Denis :)

Susan playing "in and out." You can't really see it... but there is string that they jump in and out of!

Njogu!

With Jacintah and Diana!

This might be hard to see (i think it gets bigger if you click on it) - but one of those red roofs is where I'm living :)

The view from the front door!

Other things:

- I've been sleeping very well - thank you for your prayers for that! I finally feel rested :)

- I have been able to meet many of the guardians of our children - fun! This week, I was able to pray for Joseph Muthiora's aunt, whom he lives with (there are ten ish people in the home). She has a pain/weakness problem in her left leg (from what I heard it sounded like a nervous problem, but I don't know for sure). It was a cool opportunity to pray and talk with her - pray for her healing! She is the main provider for her home, and her pain has made it very difficult for her to walk and impossible to work.

- Continue to pray! I'm so thankful for each one of you who has been praying for me - know that your prayers make a difference! I'm SO thankful for them!

- Today I went to MH for a shorter day - but the older, elementary aged children were there (I don't usually see them during the week because they are at school), and it was so great to connect with them again!

- Two weeks from today, Pastor Sammy and I will be heading to the Nairobi airport to 'pick' the team! I'm getting excited to see them! Pray for their preparation and provision!

Thanks, friends, for looking/reading/praying - you are the best!
