One More Day

October 14, 2010 - I think!

Well today we were up early to travel to Mombosa to meet with the lawyer I meet in August.   We went and viewed all the court systems in Mombosa and sat in on Kenya first video conference court appearance between Mombosa and Nairobi for the Court of Appeals.   I know it sounds boring to most of you I'm sure, but I'm a lawyer and that kind of stuff doesn't even happen in the US unless your in prison.   We also sat in and watch some court appearance in action.

Then Vicky - the lawyer and I had a lot of time to discuss water issues she is working on in Kenya as well as adoption leads and we will meet with some more people on Monday.   Kristen and I also got to tell her about the work we are doing with Operation Give Hope for the south coast schools and working on raising support.  She was very excited and we all look forward to working together in the future.  

We had lunch and were able to hear a lot of her story and she heard some of ours.  It was great to get to know a friend better.

Then late in the afternoon we were able to come back and I got to swim in the great pool here.   It was awesome.      Then we went to bible study at Crossroads where we played hangman about different aspects of I John.   It was great fun!  None of the Kenyans had ever played hang man before.  

Tomorrow we will be working on uploading info to the databases and will go to Bomani and Ingili to do the stranger danger presentation and hopefully getting us one more internet because right now Kristen and I have to share and it is a bit difficult.

Miss you all!  Thanks for praying and I am praying for you all as well!

    It's great that you could meet up with Vicky and begin to learn more about the Kenyan legal process. It sounds like you're able to find a little time for fun...swimming and playing Hangman...amidst all your work.

    I'm praying for all good things for you and Kristen....and missing both of you lots.

AFTER YEARS OF WORK, THINGS ARE COMING TOGETHER!

Saturday, March 31, 2012 Great start of the day with a run down to the beach.  I made good running time, and did it all by myself which is a miracle.  For those of you that don ’ t know, I HATE to run.  That is a whole different journey that God has me on, training for a half marathon.  I ’ ve always been a walking fan.  Walking is the same as running as long as you do it long enough was always my motto, but since I started running in December, I can honestly say that is definitely not true.  Running is so much more.  I hate it, but it is so much better for me than walking or any other type of exercise.  It is a great way to clear your head, tone your body, and increase your energy even if you are miserable even thinking about it!  When I got to the beach, looking out over the ocean there was a peace.  If God can take care of keeping the oceans where they need to be, He can take care of my small problems, even if they seem large to me ...

FIRST PICTURE - KIDS AT VIPINGO WAITING FOR ACTIVITIES.  SECOND PICTURE A SMALL EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE SHANZU BAGS THAT WE ARE SELLING TO RAISE MONEY TO PURCHASE LAND TO BUILD A PREGNANCY CRISES CENTER. TIME TO RECHARGE Sunday, June 24, 2012 Got up late, through was up at 5am originally, got out of bed at 8:15am.  Pam and I headed right down to the ocean with her journal and my morning readings.   Such a relaxing time and place with the Indian ocean being so beautiful and just awesome.  It ’ s high tide so can hear waves like you ’ re in the ocean. Then ate breakfast with the quieter part of the group which was nice.   Then off to church at Crossroads Nyali.   It is a church just like our church, Fox River in the states, contemporary through Fox River is at least 10 times louder with their music, it's not your normal church.  That was great to see lots and lots of people I knew there and to recharge.    ...
