(Saturday May 13th)
Today was a relaxed day...we all slept in late, except for Dad who almost always rises at the unrighteous hour of 6:30am. he went to he lake for some quiet time.
When the rest of us got up, we did some chores around home...then at 12 noon I went to join the rest of the girls at the pool...we had a great time, especially with Charlene from Pa, going along as well, she is here to help Brian's over the time of language classes.
I got home from the pool around 3:30pm.
Mom an I made supper grilling some hot dogs over a fire, an with the chilly evening it felt good to sit around the small fire.
After Dishon completed washing his vehicles, he also joined us for supper...then we sang some songs together, an Since we were going to Dean Miller's church in the morning, an Dishon was planning to go there too, an remain there with his family several days, he just stayed over night at our house, then went with us to church the following day.
(Sunday May 14th)
Today our family along with James And Christian went to Ugunja CBF church were Dean Miller's family is currently pastoring, but training James's in since they will be heading for home in Arkansas in several weeks, Dean's family has served here in Kenya for about 5 years now...
So anyway, with the pastor rotation schedule it was Dads turn to preach there, so we were there with Dishon, an of course along with James's an Dean's family.
Dad preached about David an Goliath, an how that with Gods help we can overcome any obstacle in life. one of his quotes, "The Israelites saw Goliath as too big to conquer, but David saw Goliath as too big to miss." Life is mostly about perspective, an Attitude.
We then had lunch at Dean Miller's .....it was late till we left there, then we went to see Dishons new house that he built in his homeland, were he plans to escape to over the violent election times.

Today I was sick in bed all day...vomiting, an aching all over, an a severe headache.
So mom was left with the laundry.
Dad went to pastors meeting along with the other pastors, today they made the drive out to where Dean miller's family live, an had their pastors meeting there today, to give Dean a break from the hour some drive he makes every Monday to Kisumu.
In the evening Dishon was here for supper, an was excited as he found out he passed his exams for becoming a professional Doc.
So that was exciting for him.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Dad an Mom!
Today Dad an mom went to some marriage seminar that Jakes church was having, Mom was having a topic there for the ladies...
The rest of us were just at home, Steve was feeling sick today, after he finished welding in the hot scorching sun for several hours. I think he overheated, since he said he felt like puking.
In the evening since Carolyn is now gone, an Rhoda was at the Mara with her visitors, our already small youth group was even smaller, so we just had spike ball on the lane, an a snack afterwards...Kori from Nakuru was here, an we ended up having a really good evening, with a lot of laughter, an a lot of laughter is the same as a really good time for me! haha
And so ended another very usual week in Kenya.

Anyway, have a good rest of the week.
