The team is fast asleep and didn't get to writing an update this evening. They had a full day, starting with teaching a Bible class and the school, doing a construction project much of the morning, and going on a home visit after lunch. (Read about this visit on Adele's blog.)
After planning some of the children's ministry events for the rest of the week, they joined the children to welcome more visitors, after which we had dinner. Zach and Diana had us all in stitches as they told the story of how they met. The Kenyans were blown away by the story, since dating/courtship is very different in this culture.
After dinner, they went to spend time reading to the children.
Tomorrow morning, Diana's teaching an aerobic exercise class to all the ladies while Zach is taking the men out for some exercise. Then it's back to construction and time with the children. They'll write an update sometime on Saturday.
They're all doing wonderfully! Though they've only been here two days, they've found a way into the hearts of this community, and vice versa. And they've brought laughter, which has been a tremendous blessing.
Please pray for them as they sleep tonight, that they'd sleep through the jet-lag-induced-waking-up-at-3-am.

If y'all are checking the comments, tell Steve his sister loves him. I think what y'll are doing is amazing, and it's a joy to read the stories of what you're doing (and it's only 2 days!). Stay safe!
Corey,
I did tell Steve that you love him. H was rather surprised when I walked up to him at lunch and said, "Hey, Steve, your sister loves you." :) He's doing great and is really connecting well with the kids. Thanks for praying.

Please tell Jessica that her mom is missing her and loves her very much. Everyone says hi...even Kola...who is missing her too.
God Bless you all...
