Note to Self....do not wear flip flops in the rainy season while in Kenya, especially if you are invited to visit someones farm.  We have made some sweet friends in Nandi.  Our friend James invited us to his farm on Thursday.  It was lush, green and muddy!  Some of the members of our team wanted roasted corn for a snack.  So, they picked the corn...I believe a machette was involved, and carried it back to the van, and the sweet ladies at the guest house took it from there.  The roads get very hard to drive in during the rainy season, and I am suprised we only got stuck once. 

 

Today it was dry enough to go outside for sports time.  I was very curious how camp would go with 600 kids.  If you go to FCBC, picture 70 kids in the blueroom, if the blueroom was muddy, and then picture me and an interpreter, and kids asking me to demonstrate how to dribble the ball.  Feel free to laugh, but actually I did pretty well.    Then picture 6 other areas that size with 75-100 kids playing volleyball, soccer, netball, preschool games, and basketball, with 2 coaches in each area, and that is what sports camp looked like.  It actually went well.  We finished up in the early evening and are preparing to go back to Nairobi tomorrow, via Nakuru State Park, which is a game park. 

 

Our team of 13 is having a great time together.  Max summed it up best in our debrief tonight.  He said that in his career, if he had been assigned a conference with 600 participants, he would have had a team preparing for months.  We have basically been turning on a dime the whole time and have enjoyed it all.  I attribute that to a great team, which includes you and your prayers.  Thanks so much!
