Rain Rain go away! We have been praying for rain for Kenya and boy did we get it. Last night we had torrential rains during the night, and some this morning. In Nandi that means that tires spin in mud and people on scooters do donuts and crash like they were driving in ice. As a result we could not have camp outside. SOOOOOO, what do you do with 600 kids in one room for two hours? We happened to have a movie, Surf's Up, that went really well with our theme for the day, 'Don't Give Up.' We then put together a dramatic play of Noah and the Ark. I was a monkey and Carolyn was a bird, and Beth was a lion. That is what is around her face in the picture....her mane. Flexibility is the name of the game.....we just thought the name of the game was soccer. Our plan B went pretty well, and we were pleased that we could model some more story telling tricks for the leaders. The picture of the cups is just one small visual of how many kids we are dealing with.....that was just a portion of snack!
Our new friends are very hungry for training and resources so we are pulling out all of the ideas we have. That has included sock puppets. Regina went to a second hand store and bought some socks so we can give them some more tools to use to avoid lecture style teaching.
We are having a great experience, but there are stomach aches and fatique and Regina has a cold. Please pray for strength and healing!
