We are getting ready to start day two of our camp here in Nandi.  Our accomodations here have been very nice and the area is just beautiful.  I have included a picture of the guest house that the men....except Max....are staying in.  Max is with the ladies, and is sharing a bathroom with seven women.  The guest house was recently built by the church and we are the first guests to use it. 

 

Jeff and Max are new to Kenya and to our training.  They have both done a great job and are adding a lot to the team.  Max has a lovely teaching partner Ruth that keeps him in line. 

 

Our biggest challenge is how to do camp for 600 kids, but we are figuring it out.  The weather is lovely and that helps.  Ryan, from UW arrived from a camp he was doing in South Africa at 4:00 this morning.  We are glad he has arrived safely. 

 

It is interesting to see Kenya through the eyes of someone that is here for the first time.  I don't ever get totally used to the poverty of the children, but after 5 trips, I am somewhat used to it.  It is a stark reality to those that are seeing it for the first time.  God continues to break our hearts wide open about how we can make a difference. 

 

Thanks so much for your  prayers.  We are at the point where emails back from you would help in our fatique!  Thanks for being a part of our team!
