Hello friends!
It's 10 or so in the morning and we're at an internet cafe in Nairobi. We've had an amazing time so far. This last week has been spent in Gathiga at the orphanage. During the morning and early afternoon we've been working on the floor in the classroom building.(formerly dirt...and dust...) In the evenings we've been playing with the kids. Linds and I want to take them home. The joy that they have in the midst of such terrible circumstances is overwhelming. We want to take Maina in our suitcase, Elliot's smile doesn't get old and Joel is so much fun! All the kids are great and we can't wait to show you pictures and video footage of them.
The group has been doing well too. We're battling illness right now. Shana is staying home today while the rest of us go to Kibiria(a slum) for a feeding program and some kids activities. LInds and MIke have a cold and my stomach was doing backflips for most of the day yesterday. PLease just be praying for us to be healed and to persevere so that we can give the kids our all.
OUr hosts(Pastor Susan and Pastor Geraldine) are amazing. The stories they've shared about God working have been so amazing! Bwana Asefiwe!! (Praise the Lord! ...though I may have spelled it wrong...).
Other than that, not too much else to report. I'm preaching next Sunday. Please be praying for me for that. It'll be my first time. What a way to start!!
Thanks so much for your prayers. We love you!
-Dave (and Linds)
