We have been meeting individually with the children at AMCC to hear how they are doing, take suggestions, and pray for them. It was a really neat time to get to know them better and to listen to them. We were really surprised by some of them - at their level of English and what they're hoping to do.
Recently, we went to meet the chief of this area, and he spoke so highly of Rev. John and AMCC. We've also appreciated getting to know the new accountant and have him explain some things to us. We went with the children to the field at their primary school and had a good football (soccer) match; the younger kids got really good at throwing and catching frisbees!
It's raining a lot here, especially in the afternoons and evenings. It's mostly cool but not unpleasantly so. I have to take a picture of some of the younger kids all bundled up with their awesome hats on! We eat beans a lot - beans with rice, with maize, and with ugali (maize meal). We also drink a lot of sweet chai, tea grown locally! And enjoying fresh fruits like bananas, mangos and pineapples.
It's a bit intense to be living so closely in very different situation than we're accustomed to, but it is really special, too. We appreciate prayers for patience, wisdom, and humility during the last few days here.
Thursday is Kenya's 50th anniversary of independence and Friday we are having our Christmas party!
