Hello everyone, we are doing very okay. (as they say in Kenya) We have our three week assignment. We will be leaving for Thika on wednesday to stay with Pastor Patrick. It is a new assignment so I am not certain of what we will be doing exactly but I know it will involve preaching, home visits, evangelism, talking at schools, and building relationships with the people we will be living around. We may or may not have internet access so it may be a while before we are able to write again. Oh and we are living by a pineapple factory...so hopefully we'll get some really good pineapple.

On a different note. I got to see my pastor from 2007! He is sadly not hosting students this year because he has other missionaries staying with him but he came up to the pastor's training to see me :) Praise God for the blessing of sitting and talking with him. He is a great man of God and very inspirational and has a big servants heart.

Sorry I do not have much to say this time around. But I must tell you that it is so great being here. I feel so comfortable here and God's presence is beautiful and intense. And it has been great to come as staff. I lead a small group, and it has been a blessing to watch them grow just in the one week we have been here. God is already showing them, beyond what they already knew, on how great and deep His love is for us. We serve and have a very good God, who is faithful and so intimate. When you take yourself out of your comfort zone and out of what you are used too, it seems you can see God more clearly and really listen to Him. It is easier to give Him your attention because everyday distractions are gone. It is so so good. I encourage you, to take some time today and just be with our Lord.

Please be praying for us as we enter our assignments. For strength and boldness as we share God's word, love, hope, forgiveness, and peace. Also please be praying for the Kenyan people. ALong with the 1 million + orphanes that are here in this country.

Nakupenda!
