It is Tuesday morning, and Bryan, Ashlea, and Joyce are planting Kale seedlings in the garden. Kim and I are waiting to start day two of our community marriage conference. On Saturday, we discussed communication in the marriage and had a very good question and answer session. We are learning that communication within the marriage is an area where there is a struggle, so please be in prayer that what is talked about will be able to be applied to strengthen marriages.
It was exciting for Kim and I on Friday to see one of the staff had finished a three page letter to his wife, something that took him out of his comfort zone because he had never done something like that before.
On Monday we all took a trip to Kipkaren. It is completely different than two years ago when we were there. It is exciting to see how God has taken the vision that Don Rogers spoke about five years ago at KCC and has made it a reality. It was wonderful to see old friends and spend some time with them. Dorcas who was our cook two years ago is now married and is a house parent in the Children’s Home. They have a son, Brian. The clinic now has a new wing for eye care and dentistry. The children’s home and school has opened. The kitchen is now a computer room and they have a wonderful indoor kitchen. God has blessed them!
We are all in prayer for one of the children who has been sick this past week, he normally has a lot of energy, but is very tired and his stomach hurts, so please be in prayer for him. It has been a blessing to have God use me has an example both by what I say and the actions I have shown and how the Kenyans have been able to show me where I still need to grow in my walk with Christ.

How wonderful to get to touch base and reconnect with our "family" in Kipkaren! How was our famous "snake killer" Cosmas? He is so excited that he now has an e-mail address! And all the others? Maru? Esther? Phoebe? Caroline? Did you see Julius or Dr. John? I am so excited that your mission(s) are going well and prospering . . .both you and the Kenyans. God has gifted you all with certain talents and traits for just a purpose as this. Isn't it exciting to know that way before time, He molded you and created you exactly for this time in history and exactly for the people you are meeting and communicating with? It gives me goosebumps! We still are all praying for you and pray God uses you ultimately and fully while in Kenya, as well as when He brings you safely back to Kingsburg.
God be with you all ~
