Safari Day

Today we learned that baboons are aggressive. We took a trip to Nakuru for a Safari with the I-Teams. We got out of the vehicles to view the valley where we had been driving and watched a baboon enter three different vehicles, including ours, looking for snacks. We took a picture of him licking the inside of one of Missi's nature valley granola bar wrappers.


We saw lots of animals, but listing them is boring, so we made a game for you to play, with your kids if you're so inclined. So without further adieu, we bring to you, “Guess That Bakre Mwisho!”

Can you name the animal that goes with each bakre mwisho?

How'd you do? (The answers are below)

Safari is the swahili word for journey, and a great journey it has been so far. At one point yesterday we were learning Swedish from an Australian while sitting near a Norwegian family and German couple as we all served refugees in Kenya. A wonderful journey indeed.

Please continue to pray for the food shipment as the final details and paperwork are worked out. It sound like they are getting closer to releasing it from the dock and sending it towards Mathare Valley. Mark, Missi, and Jason will be in Mathare tomorrow visiting the school.

You could also pray for our team this next week as we will be splitting us up a bit more. Luke, Sarah, and Cyndi will all be on their own doing ministry in specific areas over the next few days. Cyndi with teaching, Sarah with regufee women, and Luke with youth ministry.

Thanks for the comments (keep 'em coming) and for the prayers and thoughts as we being the second half of our time here. They are truly encouraging! Love you all!
