Greetings All
We have just gotten back from our first visit to Huruma. Many happy faces greeted us at the Huruma Children's Home and we were given a tour of the school, dorms and grounds. The children sang for us and we made many new friends!!! We all can't wait to go back there next week. Everyone is getting along well, the jet lag has not set in yet so we are thankful. We enjoyed our first true "Kenyan" meal of Mokimo and Beef Stew. Mokimo is potato, corn and green peas mashed together. Hint for parents all the kids liked it so no more excuses that they don't like peas!!! Even Earl liked it, and that says a lot!!!! Robyn's home is beautiful and very spacious considering that there are 15 of us here and we are not on top of each other.
We also had our first adventure on Kenyan roads. Everything that Robyn has said is not exaggerated!! Thankfully no one got too jostled around - but wait until we go to Tenwek, we have been told that that is a real teeth rattler!! We are definitely spoiled when it comes to our American roads and the drivers. As far as we can tell there are no stop lights, very few stop signs and way too many close calls!!!!
Supper tonight is very American - Tacos!! Afterwards, more work on the puppet show and getting ready for Sunday School at Robyn's church. We are going to be having a "fun day" for the kids in Robyn's complex - we will try our show out on them!!
Your prayers are appreciated and felt 4,000 miles away!!
Until our next post.....
The Kenya Team
