On Friday, Dave did a Bible Study with the kids at Samro School. Later Dave, Kim, Ashlea, and Bryan pulled weeds out of the carrot garden. Joyce helped cook in the kitchen for the kids. We were able to eat with the kids much to their delight. We visited Jane’s house who is a preschool teacher at Samro. Her parents-in-law are 105 and 102 years old and can still move like they were 80 years old. When we got back from the house visit we played with the kids. Bryan helped burn the trash and burnt his hands too. (Obviously not badly since he can type. Editorial comment.)
On Saturday Dave and Kim did a community marriage seminar. While they were doing that Joyce, Ashlea, and Bryan prayed for them and did worship songs. Then we went out and played with the kids while Kim and Dave did the marriage seminar. Bryan helped burn the trash again and luckily didn’t burn his fingers. Later, we went on a house visit to Sally who is an assistant house parent here at Ilula. Her mother and dad stretched out their earlobes when they were young. (Click here to see a picture of how the grandma used to cut and stretch her ears.)
Today, we led Sunday school about how we are sheep and Jesus is our Shepherd. For church we had a guest speaker who was a pastor at a church in town. He preached on Judges six (isn’t it amazing how Pastor Ed was preaching on Judges before we left and then when we got here another pastor preaches on Judges). For lunch we went to Kerio View for lunch and to relax. The view was gorgeous from where we ate.
Please keep us in your prayers as we come home next week.

Wow, Bryan! Sounds like you are an accident just waiting to happen! This has been an eventful trip for you, with cuts, near misses and burns. You'll have to share your battle scars when you get home.
Can't wait to see some more pictures! You will have to share about the ear lobe stretching with Justin and Nico when you return, as well. Maybe that will keep them from stretching theirs any further!
We'll continue to pray that you will all remain healthy throughout the remainder of the trip.
