Hello all!
We have adopted an internet café in town, someday I will have to get a picture of us sitting here. How about some fun, random facts?
- Women are named according to their children or their husband… a mother is mama and a father is baba… so Susie is referred to as Mama Annie (as her oldest daughter is Annie) and when I was showing Ruth a picture of my mum I introduced her as “Mama Kat” Xd
- There is a new boy in my class, Cavin Akech and he really should be in primary school. He comments on everything, will NOT sit still and any class discipline there WAS is washed down the drain. He came on Monday and on the first 3 days I lost my temper with him several times but today I was able to cope, in the end he was sent outside for a good 15 minutes and the class was peaceful. I find it hard cause my attention is on him and so less can be given to the other kids, however, I am learning to deal with it – he is probably the biggest challenge up till now.
- I go to the nursery around 6.20am each morning to unlock the doors of the nursery and open the gate for the kids that get there early and have the privilege of enjoying a BEAUTFUL sunrise coming over the mountains EVERY DAY J. I really enjoy those times!
- We started Sunday school last Sunday and now have more responsibilities so we are getting more organized so we can do everything well.
- On Sunday there was an offering taken up after the service so that the land the church is on can be bought (they have to raise 40,000 kenyan shillings) and there were only like 20 – 30 people there and they did the collection. It was very different from what I have experienced, as the people were called up one by one in public and they gave their offering. Many shouts of amen, and clapping and waving of the hands but it made the event more enjoyable and the people were giving joyfully, by the end of it money had lost all its importance, at least in my eyes. The downside was that it last 2 hours. So added on to the 2 hour service (it was actually 3 but we were late cause of Sunday school) Rahel and I were not feeling very well… starving in fact. But there was a huge meal after so alls well that ends well. =).

More random facts on their way next week, we are doing OK, Rahel got another cold and it seems to be getting better. I can’t believe another week has gone by, but it is nice it is the weekend and I can relax – Monday is a holiday too so that’s cool!
Prayer letter to be sent out soon as well, so things are well.
Over and out.
