Today was the USA’s Independence Day. Our friend’s, The Cooksey’s (missionary friends of ours) had a 4th of July BBQ at their place. There was so much food but it was definitely good times all around.
Thankfully, they started the BBQ early because at around 1:30, after we had lunch and dessert, it started to rain, a hard solid rain. But good times continued indoors.
In other news, our first team from New York is doing really well. They are working hard to get their part of the work done on the structures for the new home. The team has been working 12 hour days; however, they managed to have a rest on Saturday when some of the team went and saw different parts of the area. Today, they went and visited the current home of the children that they are building their new place for.
On Tuesday, I leave for Nairobi to pick up my good friend, Nicole Jeffs, who will be staying with us for about five weeks. I’m super excited to see her. Nicole and I will be travelling back to Kitale on Wednesday so I ask for your prayers regarding Nicole’s travels to Kenya, mine to Nairobi and both of us back to Kitale.
On Thursday, we have a team from Canada coming to stay for ten activity packed days. Our friend Sandy, who comes every year and stays at TI, is bringing a team of nine and this is the first time that the team is full of young people. In the past, Sandy has brought an older group but this year, she wanted to bring people who may catch her vision of the things she does here in Kenya. We’re excited for her team’s time here.
On Saturday, we say goodbye to the first New York team and hello to the second New York team, all within a few hours time span. So, this weekend will be incredibly busy.
Please keep us, the TI team, in your prayers. Starting Thursday, the next ten days (with Sandy’s team) will be extremely busy. We ask for prayer for energy, health and time. Thank you so much!
Please pray for Sean; he has a sinus infection. Tomorrow, he’ll be going to the pharmacy to get medication so hopefully we can get that cleared up soon. Again, thank you!
In Him,
Meredith
