Pauline will be my “guest blogger” today! (I have added a bit of clarification where necessary to her email)
Hi sister,
May this one find you in good health and spirit!
Today was another public holiday and since i was not reporting on duty i decided to join the kids in Nice view and talk abit and see what they were doing with themselves October 20 was Kenyatta Day, a public holiday.
As soon as i drove in i saw a group of boys seated together in a group and thats where i went first to join them.From where i had parked the car to the place where the boys were, there was a channel dug to drain off water since the compound is flooded.So i had to jump over the channel with the flowing water and once with the boys i asked them about it and they responded and said that was river nice view draining water to the quarry.They really amused me and the funny bit is that they did not take a second to think about the” river”[see the river in the attached photo] See below for the photo.
Moving around i met three girls and one was busy making the hair of another [See the attached picture].See below for the photo Others ,else where looked bored and when i sat down to think of them all i realized that the boys were seated idle coz the field was flooded and so they could not kick their balls while the girls opted to engage themselves with their hairs since their ropes had no place for jumping and i sympathised with the whole lot and wished i could raise the ground to drain off water for their play
I talked to Annastacia and told me that her phone has some problems and thats why it went off immediately you called her.Occasionally, its not sustaining communication though i had no problem with it when i called her. I called Annastacia a few days ago and we were cut off, assuming her phone was out of battery since I was unable to get through to her again. I will be calling her again this week, so hopefully her phone will be working!
I have received the letters that you sent and i will release them to the kids tomorrow Pauline is referring to pen-pal letters I sent her from a school here in Phoenix.
I also talked to Ruth yesterday and she was in a very pleasant mood.She is ok Ruth is expecting twins early 2010.
Yesterday we had our candidates in Fr.heeran making the sitting arrangements for their exams that will start tomorrow.Pray that they will be calm and at peace Fr. Heeran is a secondary school Pauline is principal at. Students around the country will also be sitting for their exams.
We are now looking forward to seeing the seeds germinate so that we can start weeding.A very tedious work dear ! Tedious but what a blessing! I wrote Pauline earlier she will need to teach me how to garden when I’m living there-I definitely do not have a green thumb!
We are thanking God for all His goodness in our lives and so are we – thank you Father for the provision of rains!
Keep well dada and my love to your family please! Dada is Swahili for sister.
