AARON'S AND ESTHER'S VISIT TO KENYA
(part 2 of 2 )

On the way home, we came to this..... someone must have lost control.....cabbage here and cabbage there....

Chicken butchering dawned the day Aaron's were sheduled to leave. We were glad for Esther's past expertise in helping to dress the 200 birds. Aaron, Sam and Merle bagged the chicken in preparation for the freezers.

Esther is holding little Sarah, daughter of Pastor Peter and Irene Otieno at the Kasongo youth seminar. Aaron and Esther also had the opportunity to eat in a native's home for Sunday dinner, to tour Kisumu town and attend Bible Study at yet another home. On December 16, Esther celebrated her 60th birthday.

In Lancaster, PA, Sam's uncle Aaron King passed away on Christmas morning at age 100. Mary, his wife of nearly 74 years, passed away just 6 weeks earlier.

Our thoughts are also with the Allen Hostetler family from LaMonte, MO Esther, age 50, wife and mother died suddenly last Wednesday evening. She will be sorely missed by her family and the small congregation. Earlier this year, Sonya, wife of Jesse Miller passed away in the same church. May we be prepared when God calls our name.

Our family wishes you a blessed holiday season. We were 'dreaming' of a white Christmas, but mowed grass instead. Snow in Kenya would probably start a riot.....
