This is such a different world mixed with beauty and not so much beauty. The vegetation is beautiful! You can walk up to a stranger at a restaurant who is smoking near you and ask them to move and they will gladly move unoffended. They people are kind and hospitable. The men will walk around holding hands with another man who is their good friend. As you can see above the roads are a bit rough. This one is one of the busiest in the city and it has pot holes longer than the car! The driving is crazy but everyone is forgiving in it though they use their horns all the time. The horn is used more as a warning device than anything else.
I'll be here a few more days due to a doctors appointment for one of the orphans on Tuesday and then we'll be heading to Nanyuki. I look forward to getting there so that I can get settled in, meet everybody and get to work. Unfortunately the land for the orphanage is taking longer than expected to go through so that is on hold. Due to economic hardship in the US the funding for the youth camp has been pulled completely and the funders want the 33 acres to be sold. We are hoping that they might change their minds or we can find another supporter to buy it and donate it. We can build the high school, orphanage, medical clinic and vocational school on that property if we can somehow keep.
In the mean time I will have more time to be coming alongside Noah to assist in any way possible with the brick building and John with the welding instruction. My Swahili is very poor but I'll be sitting in on the third grade Swahili classes possibly to help out as soon as I arrive in Nanyuki.
I hope that all of you are well and "walking to the rhythms of His grace". Thank you again for your continued support and prayer.
