Our First Day!

Ok, in case anyone is wondering, yes I am serving Chuck and Robert! I told Pauline that I had stopped doing that the minute I hit Nairobi going home but would begin being the African woman once again. After a late breakfast our first stop was the Acacia (the supermarket) for some supplies and sweets for the kids. We were told that the workers at the Acacia were wondering when they should start stocking sweets again and Pauline told them NOW since we were landing that very day! Then it was off to the Academy and it was so exciting! I even forgot to get my video camera out for the welcome program but I so enjoyed it that you’ll just have to trust me that it was fantastic. But I do have pictures for you! (and here’s one of me using my new camera!) Hugs were handed out like sweets and it was glorious to be with them again. I thank God for this opportunity to be with His children again. I can’t speak for Robert but I believe he had a great time too. While we were touring the Academy with Robert he made some new friends and even served them dinner! Pauline and Ruth were quite surprised to see Robert’s interest in the kitchen and when I told them he cooks at home they couldn’t believe that a man would be in the kitchen.
It was such a joy to see our Kenyan family again and get right back into life with them. Thank you Father for your love, your work in our lives and the opportunity to share that love with these children. I look forward to sharing more stories and pictures with you soon. God is good all the time!
