So I wanted to thank you all for your prayers and give you an update. Tony my friend I wrote about last week… He for the first time the other day washed his own clothes. God is continuing to heal him. Thank you all so much for your continued prayers. I hope that this week we get a chance to go and pray over him again before we leave. God is good and works is crazy ways. Other updates. I think this week we are going back to the school where I feel in love with Bosco. I would love to see him one more time and love on him a little. – We get back soon- crazy we only have like...

Round two… I’m not sure what town we’re in… but we were on a tour of some projects ICC is involved with. The flowers popped out next to the dust covered compound… Kelsey working as we took down the old church at Kiserian… Shiko, one of the little kids that always loved to follow us when we worked at Kiserian. The temporary tent we “put up…” it was free.  Enough said. Traday, one of our wonderful leaders! 🙂 (Out of Order) Taylor infront of the church, before we took it down. Sam and Jeff on our beloved bus… drivin...

Cooking with Patrick, I’m going to miss him the most.  We told him the other day how many days left until we leave and he was shocked… I think he’s going to miss us too. Peeling Potatoes at a school for their tri-week meal.  Potatoe stew and chapatis!   I hope to post a blog tomorrow… but we need to walk back to camp before it gets dark, so talk soon!   LOVE YOU Mom, Dad, and fam!

            Every Christian has a story.  A story of how God met us where we were, deep in sin, deep in failure, deep in living an illusion of happiness… and changed us, turned our life upside down, and saved us from our sinful nature.  Being a Christian doesn’t make me better or more selfless than the next person.  It is simply a gift that I’ve received.  *For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can...

This is what I’ve been learning through our fast from one full meal a day, no spending personal money, and no communication except through the blog. This fast helped me pray more, but it wasn’t extremely challenging for me, cuz I think I’m in my element. Since it was much harder for some other members of my team, I tried to let them use the internet for their blogs before me. With my luck, I was the one who found out that we had no more internet on our account cuz all our credits were used up already. So, I’ve been waiting, along with a few others, to write a...

  God has been really showing me so much scripture so I want to share with you the references: 1 Thess. 5:12-28 Psalm 139, 138:8, 91 John 3:16, 13:38 1 King 12 Isaiah 6 Luke 17:10, 17:19, 6 Ex. 34:29-25, 34:6-7, 34:13 2Tim.4:1-8 1Cor.3:5-9 Eph.3:12-19 Micah 7 Isaiah 58 James 5:17 (favorite) Col. 3:12 My life in Kenya..WOW! Friday, I had a headache (this sounds funky but I got a headache from how I did my hair that day) while I was on the bus. We where on the bus, traveling to Kibera to play with some kids. (NOTE: Kibera is the largest slumb in Kenya, the second largest in Africa.)...
