Death is so common.....we occasionally see a two wheeled cart loaded down with two smart-looking coffins.
Summer is drawing to a close for our American friends; it seems strange because here summer continues. We are blessed with lovely mornings and often a rain comes toward evening to cool down the blazing afternoon. The light September rains have begun and farmers are hoping for a 'winter' crop. We have adjusted to life in Kenya and are falling in love with the people. The Christians are so appreciative to us missionaries for bringing them the gospel. After visiting their homes and being exposed to their culture and lifestyle, we can understand just abit. In this dark land, by God's help, we are trying to make a difference.

Mattie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the time and effort you put into this blog. You all do a great job with letting us know what's going on and we love it !!!
Keep "keeping on" for Jesus.
May God grant us all the burning desire to see the glory of Jesus Christ cover the earth, to see men and women brought out of darkness into light, out of bondage into freedom. May it became the consuming passion of each of every one of us, either in Africa or at home.
God bless.. Anna
