YOUTH MEETINGS
Part two

In the afternoon, we had a social time of games, etc. Most of the Kenyans know how to play soccer well but that's about the extent of organized games. Jevon Beachy set up a volley ball net and it was quite interesting trying to teach them how to play. They soon caught on and did quite well. What a fun time they had laughing at each other!



The volley ball setup with all kinds of neighboring onlookers. They had good time watching and it was a good testimony to see wholesome interaction.

The tug of war brought gales of laughter.


Joseph and Becky Hostetler organized some relay races. This is where you put on gloves and open a wrapped piece of candy. First they had to learn how to put on the gloves. It's something they don't need here.

It was a good day and if laughter is good medicine, we all had a healthy dose. We look forward to next time.

The weather continues to be warm and Christmas seems far away. It feels more like July 4th. Today it was 92 degrees and we chuckle abit at our snowbound friends in America who can't even attend church. Schedule continues here as usual, with visitations, baptism interviews, and constant applicant interviews. The Kenyans do celebrate the Christmas season in their own way. More goodies are available at the stores and they spend more money than usual.

Here in the compound we look forward to the program Miss Rosalie is having the children present on Christmas eve. Agape is preparing special dinners for the orphans and it's a busy time for our church ladies who do the cooking. Look for more details next time concerning orphans.

We thank our friends for the cards and pictures you have sent. It means so much to us at this end. The mail so far has been very reliable and we usually recieve a letter/package within 5-8 days. Please continue in prayer for the work here.
