Working Like Beavers...

We are working like beavers but everything is clicking well. Traffic is out of this world. It now takes us two hours to come home at night.

Get up at 5 - breakfast at 6 - on the road at 6:30 - at Jubilee by 8 - devotions and work until12:30 - lunch (excellent cooked by Alyce and Lucy) - back to work by 1:30 till 5, 5:30 and back on the road. By the time we stop at the store for whatever is needed, get back to our hotel and take a shower, we are dead.... but happy.

Your Jane is doing well and looks very good. She kitchen duties yesterday.
We are working with the older kids and have assigned them to different stations and they love it. The dentist has two assistants and let them help actually with the tool and suction thing so they are having a ball. It rains a lot - showers - here in Nairobi but not one drop in Ruai.
Meeker's kid has already given me a drawing to bring back to his sponsor!!!

We started giving physicals to the kids yesterday and unfortunately one of the new ones tested HIV positive so we will have to address that issue.. Most of the new little ones are very much undernourrished and speak little english or none. The older girls are really helping there too..

The eye testing is going well although both Sarah and Elaine gave their own sunglasses away to the kids without realizing it!

The men are doing their things and Joseph, the older boy is helping - Arilla's kid. He even had a chancde to go out with Owen to get gas for the generator!

I am having a ball bossing everybody around! I am also spending a lot of quality time with the older girls.

On Sunday we had a wonderful service. That was quite moving to see all the kids singing and praising God. Not to mention 10 or 15 little tots entering the stage and singing When the saints go marching in!!!

That is all for now. You all take care. Blessings from all of us and from the kids.

I'm not sure she can access our blog site but is trying to get these slight glitches fixed.

Testing my blogging capabilities

Dear KOP supporters,
This is my first attempt at blogging. If it works as expected, I will try to update you on all the fun we will be having with the children at Jubilee.
God bless.
