We are starting to walk to the Academy everyday now and it’s a great walk. Today while walking we came upon two older women and before we had a chance to greet them the one said, in very good English, “are you going to pass us by without greeting us?” We said no and went over to greet them. They were sisters, Sarah was the one doing all the talking (and for an older woman it was very strange that she could speak English so well!) She began to tell us of her faith in God and how we are all created equal in His eyes and we shouldn’t refuse to greet anyone because as Sarah said “they are made in the likeness of God’s own face.” Sarah then told us how she and her sister were angels and that we met on that path to receive a blessing from God by helping them. She asked for 5bob (shilling) so they could buy a little flour for themselves for the day. I gave her some money and she thanked us and said God would bless us for the help we’d given her. Then, and this is where the first time for everything comes into play, she came in for what I thought would be a hug but as she got closer to me she spit on my chest! Believe me I was a bit shocked but stood my ground and shook her hand. Chuck was lucky since he saw what happened he was prepared for his blessing! And sure enough, she went to him and “blessed” him on the neck! We thanked them and offered them sweets, which Sarah gladly accepted. She promptly opened hers but her sister was just holding hers. So Sarah told her “open your sweet and eat it you stupid woman!” Which her sister obeyed! So our angels were sisters who had a great “Abbott and Costello” relationship! When we left them we didn’t bother to look back and see if they were still there because she said they were angels, who can argue with that? God’s timing is always perfect and we were supposed to meet them, supposed to help them and supposed to receive their blessing (no matter how much saliva was involved!)

After a day at the Academy our blessing was fulfilled by God showing us His faithfulness through your support and we thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do for these children. We will be going to Mercy on Friday to begin work on the choo (toilet) please prayerfully consider a donation. Thank you again for helping us to be the feet for this ministry and to bring God’s love and hope to our children in Kenya.

No pictures of our angels, but here’s some previous days pictures.
