More fun in Kenya

           An impromptu zone birthday party for the Elder signalling thumbs up.  Being around these missionaries is one of the joys of our mission.  We have a particularly grateful group now and with Swahili speakers among them they are having great success in their branches.

     The orphaned boys team in soccer uniforms provided by Joseph (one of Taylor and Shelley's sons).

    The little boys (who didn't get uniforms) waiting in line for treats. 

     The Aaron Christensen Family sponsored greenhouse nearing completion.

"A walk in the park" - Mt. Elgon National Park

Waterbuck - about the size of an elk.

One of the several caves where elephants come to scrape salt from the walls.  We only saw bats.

 But we saw hoards of baboons.  We first thought they were gorillas.

Busy times in Kenya

Zone Conference in Eldoret with Elder and Sister Carl B. Cook (far left).  The dork on the right whose looking the wrong way is standing next to President and Sister Hicken.

Me and my African mates from our district.  From Botswana, Kenya, Uganda and South Africa.

The boys at the farm built the hutch from donated materials and named the rabbit; Juma.

Two of these team members are not like the others.

Jana and me doing our best impressions of Mother Teresa and Albert Sweitzer

Jana administering medicine and juice to the sick boys - mostly malaria.

Two of our boys who went to church with us wanted to pose as missionaries.  Nice ties - mine.

The boys at the farm and JaLayne's kids and neighbors raising money.

The boys crowding around our lab top to see bible videos.

JaLayne and David's kids and a couple of neighbors raised $500.00 for the orphanage, selling candy "door to door".  Later Isaac found a $100.00 bill on the road and declared it God's contribution.

Everyone's generous contributions have helped enormously with, food, medicine, chairs and tables, curriculum, shoes and clothing, a green house and rabbit hutch.  Thanks so much!

Great Mercy, School and Orphanage; contributions appreciated

Some of the kids helping me load my pickup and haul bricks to the boy's farm for a latrine.

My six "street boys" who are now in school at Great Mercy and help me with all my projects there: Peter, George (our adopted street kid), Martin, Patrick, Dominick and Emmanuel.  Great boys!

We went to leave the main campus and these boys were piled in our truck hoping for a ride, the five miles to "the farm".

Martin, helping me install rain gutter at the farm to collect water for the 1500 liter tank the church gave them.

A couple of my boys packing one of the five bags of food (maze, beans, rice and dried fish) our children donated.
