WE FOUND A HOUSE

August 29, 2009
WE FOUND A HOUSE!! We should move on Sept 1. We hope if the water and electric are all on. Of course this weekend the water was turned off here because the renter hasn’t paid in several months. We paid our portion of the bill and they are just thinking we will break down and pay theirs. Well we are moving and so we can make it. Jackson saved water just in case and we will be fine. Living in Kenya!

So I have now come up with a new use for those loops sewed on your skirts to hang on hangers. They hook nicely on your bra to hold up your skirt. I should have purchased smaller clothes because all those fat clothes I left in well they are a bit big. Eunice knows a good seamstress for me. I priced machines but they are expensive here no Wal-Mart!!

Eldoret:
We had a great time in Eldoret. Great to see our friends! The road is always a challenge but we made it safely. We also made it home long before dark which is always good.

John had a strong men’s message. He had a great interpreter. I didn’t have anyone to interpret except a willing lady and we struggled through. We had much laughter as we tried to understand each other. When they shared at the end of the session they seemed to get the point. In the afternoon we joined the men for John’s closing word. He even made the men and women mix up. They usually sit women one side men the other. When we get the chance we sit together. I think people think we are crazy and radical. Just so they think we are radical for Jesus.

It was a great day and we look forward to our next time there.

Continue to pray for change in the churches here that people know how to follow Christ and live like the word. Traditions and cultures are tough things to change, but many times they have nothing to do with being a Christ follower. They must learn to throw off the past and press forward to new life in Christ. Thanks for all your encouraging emails and prayers!!
