Hello From Kenya

There is an incredible amount I have to share with you. However I’m on a dialup connection in Machokos paying for a connection by the minute, 3 shillings per minute to be exact.

The group I’m traveling with is beyond amazing. We have bonded with each other emotionally and spiritually.

The first 2 days we spent with orphans at the Havilla Children’s Home in Nairobi. We helped Joseph, the director, build a new chicken coup. We cut the grass that the cows eat. The women helped cook and wash clothes.

The children there performed for us. They blew my mind. It was pure emotion and pure worship. They are so loving and beautiful. You’ll see the video and pictures soon.

We left from Nairobi and have spent the last 4 days in Ngaamba. It’s a village of 6 sections that has 20,000 people. For 3 days I helped dig trenches that will bring water. It was back-breaking work.

All of Ngaamba has NO electricity. The schools and homes have dirt floors. They wash their clothes by hand. Oddly enough, everyone has cell phones. I can go on and on at how beautiful and kind the Kenyan people are. They are so generous and so grateful for our help.

Today we helped build the foundation for the a huge water tank that will supply water for the villages. We hiked up a mountain where we were able to see all of Ngaamba. After that we went to the school and played football (that’s soccer) with the Kenyan kids. It was a draw 2-2. They completely schooled me several times.

Tomorrow we head off for a 5 hour drive. I can’t remember the name of the village but it’s near the base of Mount Kilimanjaro.

There is so much more to share but I must leave now.

Oh yeh, my brand new MacBook Pro died on me. Yay Apple! It won’t power up at all. It’s still under warranty.

Thanks for your prayers and love. They have definitely been felt by our team. I will see you all very soon.
