Back to Kenya?

Back to Kenya?

I've re-booked once so far postponing one week due to the violence and demonstrations in Nairobi. TWO of our students had their churches burned, one to the ground, one an entire one side burned to the ground.

We will continue to monitor the situation, but it looks like I'll depart Jan 17 unless things turn ugly again. Thanks for praying! I'm looking forward to Tea break twice a day. (you don't see the goodies that go with it in the photo. :o)

. . . . NO, I didn't eat them all. ;oD

The sadness for me personally in the change of itinerary is NOW I miss three very important events, that I had been planning on attending (in order of importance):
Debbie's Birthday
Eric's wedding (I'm still praying I can make it)

Micah's (my nephew) Pinewood Derby race . . . he and I have been building his car . . . grey metallic steel finish with blue flames, very cool. and he's had a hand in everything, from making the original design himself, to choosing the colors and flames and drawing the block marks on the original wood and then having his hand (in mine sometimes) in sawing, sanding, painting, and burnishing. very cool, but sad I'll miss the actual race!


By the way (btw) the music I'm listening to these days is from my own new OBOE (I played in High school and college . . . was in the KU marching band with it . . . no, only cymbals on the football field.)

And no, I don't play it that well, but I am practicing, of which the realization of that burden helped cause my tears when I opened the gift (along with the joy).
