It is April 4. We have had LOTS of rain this week. Friday night it poured all night, a steady, quite heavy rain. The Ragati is about three feet from the brim on the far side of the river down by the bridge…never seen it like that. We have also had hail twice in recent days.
I am so pleased with the ladies’ progress in knitting, in the YIT (Youth in Training) church, and the Bible School ladies. They are doing so well. The weather is already cold, so I am sure they are working harder to get the sweaters made. The second ones they make will be to sell, we hope, to try to get back some of the money we have put in to yarn.
We met with the YIT ladies on Tuesday, then have a break for the school holidays. Wednesday we had Bible School, and are out of school for a month there also. I was able to cut out and make Janelle’s outfit for the wedding . I trust I can get Felicia’s done this week.
Thursday we had planned to go visit, then look at a place for Ndegwa and Carol to move to. It POURED rain, which makes the roads impassable, so could not go and see the one couple. The place we looked at with Ndegwa and Carol would not be a good place.(The house they are in has been sold out from under them, so they have to move.) We would appreciate prayer this month for the right place for them to move to. The new baby also seems to have respiratory problems, so they need a place that isn't moldy!

We have not been able to go up the Mathaithi either due to the road. Terry has spent enough hours “in the ditch” recently that it is not worth the risk! A van just doesn’t do well up there.
Contact was finally made with the well digger this past week, and he SAYS he will be there tomorrow. we will see. He had been having family strife and problems.
One of our boys was dismissed from the dorm yesterday because of drugs. It is sad to see him go, but when he got caught he was angry and not repentant. Another has been caught smoking, but admitted and wants help. Such a difference in attitude. We know we are dealing with former street kids. Each case needs clear guidance from the Lord.
Today we had 12 in deaf church and good participation in the service. Geoffrey did a good job of telling the resurrection story, and the purpose of Christ’s death, a blessing. When I sin and have a heart heaviness due to my sin, I often think of how Jesus felt when he carried the sin weight of each of us, all at once. Not even His own wrong, and how heavy that load was.

Thankful today He is faithful and just to forgive sin because the PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE.
Trust you have a blessed week--
