| Sunrise on Lake Victoria.... |
Today I did cleaning around home, then Stacy an I did a bit
of shopping in town, we had a grand time!
In the afternoon I helped Mom makes pizza, then we had the
three single girls over for Pizza.
We then had another game of Volley ball since Jadon an Lavon
were here from Greenville Tn. We had some great games, an even three teams…we
had much fun!
(Sunday November 13th)
Today was a very normal Sunday…other then me having to go
over to the children’s section during church to try an quiet down their
laughing an whispering, I tried my best to look super-stern, but their big,
black, scared eyes looking back at me almost made me burst into laughter…I
always knew I wouldn’t make a good parent! They were pretty shocked that the
white girl came to tell them to be quiet, since most times the usher does
that…but he was somehow on the blink that day.

| A group singing at Rabour Youth Seminar... |
At testimony time, a lady repeatedly tried to give a
testimony…she is an older lady an her mind is abit shallow…to say
the very least!
An she would just randomly while someone else
was sharing a testimony, get up, an loudly say, “Pake Jesu!” (Praise Jesus!)
then the interpreter would tell her to sit down again…an again…an again! Yeah
it was pretty funny! I thought at least!
In the Evening the whole compound went to Jake an Janice for
a hot dog roast…an fellowship with former missionaries Marlin Stoltzfus family
from Greenville TN. It was a great evening, with two other families visiting
from the states, visitors of Wayne’s an Joes.
(Monday November 14th)
Today I went to Java House to write my blog…for something
different…then I also went to acacia for some alone time.

| Youth Seminar... |
Dad was at pastors meeting all day.
Mom was working around home…
(Tuesday November 15th)
Today Stan an I went to Nia Where Mark Beachy’s church is to
help Dishon with mudding his house, We worked hard an after mudding the house
we had a big Kenyan feast.
We had a lot of fun, a lot of Marks church people were
there, the ladies singing incessantly an stepping around in the hut to the tune
of the song they were singing, it was a new cultural experience for me!
And also to see them making mud by chopping up the dirt an
adding water, then stopping around in the “mud pit” till it was soft an
pliable, an just the right consistency to fill the wooden structural frame they
had built.

| All of the white youths were supposed to sing a song too... |
One of the highlights was throwing mud at Micah an Stan, an
another highlight was being mistaken for Markus’s Mother! Oh! Happy Day! Lol
It was just a grand day of doing something totally
different! An I loved it!
Stan an I started home after Bible study since we had Richard
an Janet coming over for supper, so we got home in time to clean up ourselves
an get ready for supper.
We had a good evening, eating, talking, an planning to
travel out to Richards family with them in Dec. some of his family is still
Muslim so that should prove to be an interesting experience!
(Wednesday November 16th)
Today Dad an Mom went to Bible study alone, the rest were
working around home.
I felt sick most of the day…

| The Rabour Youth... |
Today Mom an I were busy getting ready to host the unit
prayer meeting at our house, it was a really small group, so we just all sat
around in our living room, instead of the carport like usual, then we also
served some snacks afterwards, it was really neat having a smaller group.
Wayne's an Joes had left for Nairobi to pick up their
visitors, an bring them back to the compound.
(Friday November 18th)
Today I was sewing most of the day…
Dad an Stan along with some of the other guys from the
mission here went to Nakuru to help with a building project, Marlin an his two
oldest sons coming over from America to help with the big project as
well….Steve an Wayne had left on Monday already to help, they said it was a lot
of fun, but also a lot of hard work…work starting at 6am. Every morning, an
working till 6pm. At night. For a week! They sure got a lot done…

| The Aroba Youth... |
So mom an I were at home alone catching up on things that
needed to be done, but mostly cooking an cleaning.
In the evening Carolyn invited mom an I to eat supper with
the single girls, we had a really great time an Carolyn went all out on the
food, an even set everything up all fancy, in our thatched roof gazebo in our
back yard, it was really neat!
An That is it for this week.
