3 Down. 2 To Go.

Hello everybody! I hope everyone is enjoying their last little bit of summer before the fall.  It was 75 and rainy here in Kisumu today and all the Kenyans were complaining that it was too cold!  We told them that this was nothing compared to the good ole' Nebraskan snow.  But time is flying by! Three weeks down already and two to go.  Before the trip I thought that 5 weeks was super long, but after getting here it definitely is not long enough.  We've really gotten into a great routine with doing VBS with the little ones in the mornings or as they like to say "You bring fun stuff today?!?!"  It's really been a blessing to spend time being with the kids and loving on them.  The other day they used glitter for one of their projects and all the kids and ROCK are still sparkling from that crazy morning.  Lauren and I like to spend time with the kids one on one and in small groups playing games or playing with play dough after our 'Fun Stuff' time.  We really have gotten to know the kids and they are all so special.  The other day we actually had all the older girls over for baking!  We gave them a special snack and watched Cinderella 2 and Lady and the Tramp while making peanut butter cookies. It was a really fun time to spend with just the girls :)
We have also met some really great people with awesome stories.  Such as our piki driver who used to live on the streets. After a couple years he found and stayed at Agape Children's Ministry (ministry that helps street boys).  Agape shared the gospel with him and gave him an education, and he was able to get off the streets.  He can now support his family and is a hard working piki driver.  Each day there is always a new story and a new experience.

Prayer Requests:
~Be able to spend our time wisely these next few weeks by doing what God wants us to do!
~The mornings can sometimes be challenging with the little kids in the mornings, so pray it goes smoothly.
~Next Friday and Saturday we are traveling to Nakuru for a safari.  Pray for safety and that we'll see lots of animals! :)

Thank you all for your support! Love you!!
