Dear Friend,
Driving up from Nairobi when we arrived, the dryness looked like Zambia! With the backdrop of dryness, the jacaranda and African tulip trees look even more vibrant in color…. Just beautiful. This week we have had three good rains here in Karatina. We are thankful.
Though I have written since June 27, that is the last letter written on this letter file! Today is October 24, 2010. I didn’t write everyone last Sunday because we hadn’t been able to get the email up and working yet. Then, be both have been sick this week…. Colds/flu or something…. We didn’t go to church today, as we didn’t want to share our germs. I do believe we are on the mend.
We are just about settled in and unpacked. I was able to bring back two knitting machines; one for me to teach on as someone else learns on the other. They aren’t fancy. I haven’t decided yet whom to use to teach them, so that they can then teach others. Also, there is no room in this apartment to set them up!
Tuesday afternoon I went to ladies’ class. Together we went to see Carol, Ndegwa’s wife. She has had to stay home a lot due to the baby being sick with bronchial problems. We had prayer and a short Bible time there. There were nine of us.
Wednesday was a holiday here. At church in the evening Terry and I shared about out time away, then the ladies had made a cake to celebrate our return, doing the way I had showed them, which was special. There were about 60 there.
Thursday and Friday I had class in the mornings in Bible School. School will be out at the end of November, so there are just a few more sessions to be with them. Two of them are graduating this year.
Thursday afternoon we went up to Mathaithi with Ndegwa, Carol and Kennedy and visited near the plot there. The church structure they had hoped to complete before we got back was not completed due to shortage of funds, but I believe we have enough for that now.
Sandy for us both
