A week in Kenya

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all well and staying warm I know Penny and I are staying warm here in Kenya. This week has been a week of challenges to say the least. Monday it started off with Penny and I leaving for Nairobi and just outside the town where we live we had a blow out ,so both of us put our muscles together and managed to remove the tire and then a maasai man showed up on the scene and finished the job. After that we went back in to Narok and were in the process of getting the tire repaired, so we would have a spare because you never go without a spare tire here for obvious reasons and then received a call from our guard that our power had been cut off. So we called our landlord who came to the power company and remedied the situation. So after that we had our power on with in the hour-thank God.
While in Nairobi the both of us got a GI bug and have had intestinal cramping followed by diarrhea, so lomotil has became a great friend. But then the water company failed to pay their light bill, so the water supply to the whole town was stopped until terms can be negotiated and we have no water to flush the commodes or shower. So out of the trials one becomes more thankful for what you have when something is stopped or removed and it is astonishing how selfish we humans can be in a given situation.
It has rained here for 3 days this week and we are very grateful for whatever comes to the ground, but I am not sure if the other drought stricken areas have received any relief,but will keep you all posted when I talk to John. We have also asked for food relief from friends in high places to see if we can get some corn for Morijo,so be in prayer about all of this please. I read in the newspaper that the government has offered to buy the starving cattle in the area, but again I not sure if the people are willing to sell their cows even though they are gaunt.

Please keep us in your prayers we are in the middle of a confidential project and have been really busy and we need God's favor,so again continue to pray and we will release news as soon as possible.

Love Penny and Dollie

  2. Hi Penny, Dollie,

    I know that the pruning of the country will bring great dividends. You are there for a specific purpose and the watering of your property there speaks of your favor in the eyes of God. You are forerunners of great things to come. We pray for more rain and fatter cattle as well as for the people of Kenya.

    Blessings, in Jesus name,
    bill & sheila
