Day 10 - Sunday June 20

a




Well, today is our last day for those of us staying here at the Scott Campus. We will be leaving at 6 am tomorrow to drive in rented Jeeps to Nairobi. We will meet the other team, also coming in Jeeps at the AIM Missionary house called the Mayfield house. It is the check in and out point for most missionaries around here. In fact, Jon's Grandma Grace and Grandpa Ed used to look after it when they lived here in Africa. We will be meeting there and dropping off most of our luggage so that we only have to take a small amount to the Safari lodge. When the Safari is over, we will come back for our luggage and head to the airport again in Nairobi Wed. night.

So today was Sunday and we all went off to various churches this morning. Jon and I had Autumn and Lauren with us and enjoyed a fun service and a lunch the ladies served us afterward of chick peas and some kind of beans. All of our guys, Wes, Dale, James, Kevin and Ryan preached at different churches as well as Jon and Gary O'Neal. All seemed to have a great time and were well received.

This afternoon, we went on a hiking adventure to the Mwania riverbed. I'll post some photos if the power holds out long enough. We've had a lot of "dark" moments today with no power again. Anyway, the kids really enjoyed the river - it's a beautiful and weird area with giant rocks all along the riverbed. We came home just in time for dinner and are now heading up for our meeting and to pack and go to bed.

Oh - we did talk to Mary Ndungu last night again and found out that all were doing well and they were excited about getting up the mountain again today for church. Brian WAS with Mary and Camille during the Land Rover breakdown the other day so we felt better that they hadn't been alone and found out they had hiked back down to the town. The two people that accepted Christ were two people that Brian had talked to and he was very encouraged.

I know we are all tired and ready to get to the Safari but also sad that our ministry time here is coming to an end. We will miss all of the people here and hope to continue coming back in the future years. Thank you so much to everyone back home who helped make this trip possible and allowed your students to come along with us. They have been AWESOME and we are so proud of all of them.

You may or may not hear much from us from this point on but just know that no news is good news. If the lodge at the Masaai Mara has internet, I will try to post an update, but it might not have accessibility. If not, the group will be returning Thursday to DFW. Jon and I are staying 3 extra days in London so regret that we won't be able to see everyone at the end, but we will make sure they get to the airport at Nairobi safely.

Blessings to all
