Time flies twice as fast here as it does at home...

Sunday morning,

A couple of minutes before heading for JCC for church service. Time flies twice as fast here as it does at home I swear.

We had a good day yesterday. After lunch, we spent time with the kids. The ones sponsoring a child connected with them and it was funny to watch these children holding on their sponsors hands like on a life line! The only troubles is that several kids asked me How come you are not coming with MY sponsors??? I guess I will have to pass the words to our sponsors in the States.

The little ones that were just accepted at JCC are already opening up a little. They are still shy and do not speak English but love is a common language and there is a connection there. They are starting to smile a little and they do laugh when we attempt to speak swahili.

We all went to the Ya-Ya mall and robbed the 3 ATM machines: 24 people withdrawing cash!!! Not really but it was fun to watch the security officers around us kind of panicking: the muzungus are robbing the machine!!!

Most of us went to dinner at the Cellar last night, 18 exactly. We had a great time getting to know each others and relaxing before this coming week that will be even more hectic than last week.

Today we will have church service at JCC with the children singing and praising God. As I did my share of speaking last week, I will delegate this honor to John and will ask Teresa to do the closing prayer. Teresa amazes me. She had a wonderful devotion for us yesterday and that is one side of her that I never knew before. I really look forward to spending more time with the Chumney family.

Everybody is doing well and enjoying the children. After church, we will go to lunch, hopefully a different place than last week, then the usual tour of Nairobi followed by shopping for souveninrs.

Hope everybody is doing well at home. Owen was sent home yesterday with tons of hellos for all the folks back home. We miss you all but have fun here.

God bless.
