Well, it’s Friday night here and I’m having such a good time with Christina!  I’m so happy that she can be here with me and enjoy all the fun!  We’ve been busy since she stepped off the plane.  Let me tell you about it…

Tuesday…my day started at 8:00am waiting for the Maasai warriors to arrive the house to do my hair.  We got started around 8:30 ( Read more... )

This update shouldn’t be as long as the last one, okay Dad!  :0)

Sunday…well, it’s the first time in 3 weeks that we haven’t had a group at church.  It’s kinda weird going back to being the only white people. Haha  Well, poor Mitch woke up feeling really sick.  He has malaria and the medicine hadn’t quite kicked in yet, so he stayed home.  Abbey ( Read more... )

Again, I’m going to try to make this quick but still give you some of the great details…I think I left off on Saturday…

Saturday…We went out to lunch and then to the Woodcarver’s market again.  People just weren’t as eager to sell, so we didn’t get as many good deals.  I did get a few though, mainly b/c they realized I had brought another group ( Read more... )

Okay, I don't have much time, but I just wanted to tell you all that I had the most amazing safari a person could ask for! We saw almost everything there is to see...leopard, rhino, buffalo, elephants, giraffes, lions, wildebeast, warthogs, hyenas, hartebeast, flamingos, zebras...We saw over 30 animals, truly amazing! I just wanted to post a ( Read more... )

Okay, so I again have a lot of catching up to do. I’ll give you all the info. I can b/c I’ll have even more after this week. We leave on Monday to go to Arusha and the Crater. It’s gonna be great, but I’ll be gone til Friday, then it’s only 4 days until Christina gets here! Ahhh!!! I can’t wait. Okay, so onto my update ( Read more... )

Okay, I think this is officially going to be the shortest rundown of a week in Africa that you’ve ever seen (so that’s the goal anyway - the good stuff without all the juicy details, sorry I don’t have the time)…

Tuesday…our first group of visitors got here - Sandy, Kyle, Brad, Kent, Jeremy, Lynette, Stephanie, Stephen, Jennifer, Wes, Joel, Lamar ( Read more... )

Okay, so I said that I'd be busy for the next three weeks and I think that might have been an under statement. Our first group is here and they are absolutely amazing, but boy have we been busy. Spending the night in the village was one of the best days/nights of my life. I was so excited it took me 2 hours to finally get to sleep. I'll tell you ( Read more... )

Just a quick prayer request…so, our first group comes today and rain is forecasted all week.  We can handle the rain, although it will be quite the hassle and a little wearing on everyone.  The big prayer request is that it does not rain on Thursday AT ALL.  We are showing the Jesus film in the village, OUTSIDE.  If it rains, we can show it in a ( Read more... )

Sunday was a great day but a busy one as well, even more busy than your normal Sunday.  Okay, the music was great again at church.  It’s such an answer to prayer that they have been coming to practices and coming up with new songs.  The praise team has really decided to make this their thing.  It’s great!  And our children’s’ attendance was back up ( Read more... )
