Thursday...
Hey!
Lets see, what’s new around here? The last several weeks have been the start of the rainy season… it rains hard almost every night, but it’s usually relatively nice during the day- just muddy! Sometimes I wonder why we go to the trouble to wash the preschoolers’ rubber boots every afternoon- they’re just going to go tromp around in the mud again tomorrow!
This week the older kids (St. Elizabeth Academy) don’t have school, so we’ve had fun hanging out while everyone else is at school. On Monday, Ismail (11) and I went with Pastor Joseph to visit Lucy (16) and his daughter, Milisent at boarding school. It wasn’t an official visiting day, so we didn’t get to spend much time with them. We did deliver “chips” (French fries) and chapatis though, and Lucy’s doing great. They have two more weeks before their third term is over.
I showed Maryanne how to make guacamole the other day- everyone’s new favorite thing! It’s really good on chapatis too! Today (Thursday) is chapati day- it’s quite a process to make them, but many of you will be happy to know I think I’ve finally mastered it! ( for those of you who don’t know, Chapati is African flat bread- fried, and thicker than a tortilla) Next, they want me to teach them how to make pizza.
I had a chance to talk with George, Martin and Vincent about going to Nakuru…they’re not excited about it, and George is afraid he will be bored and won’t make any friends. Martin has never even been there- I showed them some pictures I took when we were there in September, and we talked about some of the good things they can look forward to… Anyway, this is going to be a tough transition for them, so please keep them in your prayers. They leave sometime in December.
Jadi and Opande (twin boys) turned five on Tuesday… my first attempt at baking a cake without a recipe turned out ummm, interesting… but the kids ate it, so I guess it wasn’t that bad. I can’t find the picture of them right now, but will post it for you if I find it.
Everything here is great- a little crazy of course, but that’s to be expected- overall, I’m loving it, and can’t believe I’ve been here for more than two months! Right now, I’m trying to come up with a plan for next year… please pray for God’s direction. Thanks you all so much!
Love in Christ,
Jess
