I spent all last night resizing a few pictures for our blog time today.  Enjoy!  I hope you like them…   Walking to the river with the school kids in hopes of seeing hippos and wildlife… Posing with Fred and Daniel… the bus drivers. Helping the kids across a stream… Elizabeth and Me infront of the “animals” we went to see… there were none. After Church in Kiserian, we decided to create a band.  Here we held a photo shoot for our album cover… Me and Omosh… He is one of the biggest...

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!

so, i just typed up this huge blog from the past two weeks, since we’ve had issues with the internet. and right as i was about to save it, the power went out. i don’t have time to type it all up again, but i want everyone to know that things are going well. the most exciting thing for me was this past weekend. when emily came to kenya with AIM, she became very close to her team’s driver, elisha. she called him ‘baba’ meaning ‘father.’ my mom kept in touch with baba and his family and when they found out i was coming to kenya, they invited me to...

  Worry implies that we don’t quite trust that God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what’s happening in our lives. Stress says that the things we are involved in are important enough to merit our impatience, our lack of grace toward others, or our tight grip of control. Both worry and stress reek of arrogance.

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...

Jinalongu ni Justin Williams.  I am 18 years old and currently a missionary based out of Nairobi, Kenya.  I have been blessed with the opportunity to do God’s work here for one month already and I still have about one month to go.  This is my first real mission trip but not my last.  When I return to the states after my mission here is done I will be attending Sam Houston State University where I am a Mass Communication major, Sociology minor.  This is the degree I am working on for one reason; the Lord has called me to start a magazine and mission...
