Hello from Kenya!
It is March 28.
Last Monday, some former students came from their ministry near Nairobi, to visit us. They have a 7 year old boy, and a five month baby girl. I really enjoyed teaching her. They just started a church in January, as they had to go back after school, to work for one year in theministry from which they came. They had come from Philip’s work, and left after the year was up…. It was so good to see them again. They named their baby Sandra!
Joy called us Tuesday night to tell us that Mom Washer had had a pace maker put in last week. We called her on Wednesday, and she is still adjusting, but doing ok, I believe. We are thankful.
Terry and Ndegwa had decided to sell the little pickup Ndegwa drives for the ministry, and get something a little bigger. We mentioned it in talking, to Papa. He said he would be interested in giving up his van for the ministry and he get a newer vehicle. Anyway, to cut it all short, the pickup sold on Friday. We gave the money to Papa to put towards his van, which is due in in Nairobi this week… a second hand vehicle straight from Japan. Mr. Mwaura is going down to clear several vehicles, and Pastor James will go to drive Papa’s van back. Papa is so excited! So, for a few days Ndegwa is without wheels. He will use our van for a busy schedule tomorrow, Lord willing.
Friday we went to the home of one of our Bible School ladies and taught the ladies there how to make cake on a jiko in a sufuria, like we had done in Kiamariga. Terry had made me promise not to drive on muddy roads if it rained. The rains have been heavy. (The Ragati is fuller than we have ever seen it) The last ½ mile was "one of those roads" and rain was definitely headed our way. So, I left the van on a solid road at someone’s house, so that I could do what Terry had said, but we also prayed that the Lord would take the rain another way, and HE DID! We were served a meal (a total surprise), had tea, bread, made cake, had a Bible lesson, and then because it was so late, we left with about ½ the cake and the ladies in the van. We got home after 6, all very tired, but thankful for the good visit. All the ladies came home with food from the farm, for their families.
Today we had 12 in deaf class….the most we have had in months. Geoffrey is learning the Word, but it doesn’t seem to be making any difference in some. We have two couples (all deaf) who come quite faithfully.
Well, as a new week and month start, we also close our first term in Bible School. I need to sew two more brides’ maids dresses, and maybe one for little Jenna for Brian and Joy's wedding, during the holidays. Fun!
