Kevin:
Kevin arrived last Friday with a smile on his face, as is usual for him! He, along with the other kids at C4KK Children’s Shelter, were preparing to begin school on Tuesday. Tuesday arrived but teachers were not at school (read here about the strike). Now the kids are hanging around watching me write this blog post! Wait for it….<giggle, giggle> there, the kids have caught up to my typing and just read what I wrote 🙂 Here’s what each had to say:
Erastus – “we are happy to see you writing the blog!”
Jacinta – “we are happy to be with mum here.”
Kevin – “we are saying hi to you and God bless!”
And no I did not tell them what to say 🙂
Since there is no electricity here this blog post is now finished, as my battery is almost finished.
Sorry this is a day late…I wanted to post it Wednesday night our time so it would be available Wednesday morning your time…but when I got home from the property on Wednesday and turned my computer on it gave me a black screen <stomach churning>. Once I got it to come to life <thankful heart> it then wouldn’t recognize my internet modem <frustration building>. That’s when I took the clue to shut down (the computer that is) and go to bed. Worked on the computer first thing Thursday morning (seems to be back in order but I backed up stuff, just in case!) in between electricity outages and will attempt to post this once again later in the day. As Chuck and I say…nothing is ever simple here in Kenya. But I did find myself calmer than I normally would have been…I just did what I could and knew God was here with me through the situation 🙂
