Our orphanage has a friend from the States who just started a ministry helping the widows here in Kenya. Lucy, our orphanage director is helping with the efforts. I was asked to help them arrange for shipping. These goods will be sold in the States and the money will be used to help the widows who made them. I think it's a great idea! This is a headband made with masai beads.




Carvings, the two giraffes are carved from a single piece of wood. Pretty cool, eh. Another hair clip.

Bracelets and purses. I will try to arrange for the shipping sometime tomorrow so that our friend in the States can have them soon to sell.



I wanted to show off these big and beautiful roses. A very talented friend of mine made these and gave them to me. They are paper roses!! Can you believe it?
Since our time in Malaysia, I am trying to lose some weight - actually, I am always trying to lose weight :-) Anyways, I pray this prayer everyday over my skinny friends :-) - it's on my kitchen wall, so I never forget!
It's a while since I posted pictures of Max. We are so excited to have him back with us. He lost some weight while we were gone but is making up for it now! We are giving him breakfast and dinner and he eats so much! Before we left in June, he was only eating one meal a day. He quickly gained back his weight back the last two weeks...He is really good and remembered his little routine, and did not have a single accident! He is also very clingy and would sit/lay very close to all of us whenever we are around. We sure missed him during the summer....
Before I forget, I wanted the friends who have left comments on this blog to know that I read your comments as they are automatically sent to my email address. I tried replying to the address in the emails but it doens't get to you - it just redirects me to this blog again. Anyways, I want you to know that I appreciate the comments- tells me someone is reading what I am writing - I wonder sometimes!! Ok, two evenings ago I had another invite to join an evangelist to Goma, also in DRC. They are doing a crusade there- I cannot tell you how much I want to join them but I can't - not this time anyways. We are in the midst of preparing to return to Malaysia for two months to reconnect with churches and friends who supports our work here and also to give our report. We are also trusting God to connect with more people and churches who are interested in our work here. We need to raise so much more to empower and release more laborers to a ripen harvest in AFrica. I am so overwhelm wit...
