THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE


This is the front of the house. They chip away at the corral then put 6 inches of top soil and plant grass one blade at a time. It is going to be beautiful!

A new place

We followed some bad winding road in the back villages to a project from "coins for Kenya" Dad wanted to see what they were doing. I sat on their porch and talked with the participants. They were having meetings with government people. Dad did his little speil. Hopefully we will be going home.

WE HAD TO WEAR THESE VESTS. THE HUGE MACHINES MADE US FEEL LIKE ANTS WALKING AROUND. THESE CONTAINERS WOULD BE PICKED UP AND PUT ON THE GROUND. THEY WERE ABOUT 5 CONTAINERS TALL.

EASTER HOLIDAY






It is Easter Holiday and everyone is going somewhere. The interns are going to take over this house and dad and I are going somehwere else. I have to show you the opening of the crate. Jason's fertilizer spilled all over the furniture and those taking the stuff out of the container walked all over stuff. I'd say some of the lighter furniture is ruined. Dang!!!

Just back from the new house






Just got back from the new house. Things are moving a little faster now that dad put on a financial deadline. They are planting grass one blade at a time and the area is huge. They do it all by hand and the crappiest tools imaginable. I will show you a picture if I can find one. It is fall now in Kenya and the mango leaves are turning red and falling off. I don't know what the other trees will do. Dad is keeping REALLY BUSY. I am home most of the time and the electricity goes off almost every day. When the electricity goes off so does the AC. And then it really sucks. But we are still in an adventure that I wake up each morning and can't believe I am living it!

It's so dang hot!!!

Dad is in a meeting with some people so I am relagated to the other bedroom with AC. I did my errands this morning when it was cooler. I am now cooking baked chicken. It really makes the house hot. Dad's mind is just zinging!! You thought he was bad a while back, he is really got his mind on so many possible business - - - If he just had money!! And such is life in Kenya

Another Sunday bites the dust

Today we took the 1.5 hours to get to church. Dad and I were the speakers. Everything was grate untill the power went off. We sat in the heat and died. Then it was time to speak, still no AC. I spoke on honesty, integrity, and trust. Kenneth said afterward it was the perfect talk for the people at that time. Dad did a wonderful job on faith as he always does. Then we went into SS but I was so hot I had to go to the car, start it and turn the AC on. after a while dad came to tell me it was making too much noise so I went into ss. It's so hard cause I don't understand. And it was so hot and sweaty. Dad got a call to be the ym president so I guess we have the young people under our supervision. Each week I have a new girl come that wasn't that before. Today we have 8 girls. It' s fun and I keep them laughing. But I am so emotionally beat when I am done I just about die. But I think I am doing something good. It will be interesting with dad doing the boys Oh well, another Sunday.

Sitting in Old Town Kenya with the AC blasting

There are so many people in this world. And they all live in Old Town. There is not one spot that does not have people selling something. I would love to just walk up and down the streets at my leisure I guess Friday is market day cause the roads are filled with people
In Old Town picking up tile and light fixtures. The lights are gorgeous. David will start the electrical process now. I can't wait. When I get a picture I will send it
