All in a day

Yesterday... I spent an hour an a half on skype with my favorite person, then three hours playing with kids in need of some joy before getting orthopedic correction (At CURE). This mostly involved legos, a balloon, bubble wrap (the universal toy, pictured at right) and some coloring time. This resulted in displaying my skills in the form of a crayon barbie doll drawing. Later, the lunch Rachel prepared was amazing as usual-spaghetti with sauce including chunks of zucchini. I'm eating well here! Follow that with 2 hours of spelling and math (we struggled then, but conquered today!) Then an hour and half at the primary school reading 3rd grade level English books with 6th grade Kiswahili speakers. On the way back we drop by the maket and get some great (English) muffins and a pineapple, eyeing and buying curios (crafts) as well! We return to our humble abode and have our evening 'tea' getting pleasantly interrupted by my chance to soothe an only slightly irritable newborn. I bump into Mama Chiku- owner of the self-named local renown restuarant- and learn her real name: Joyce. I also learned the meaning of Mama Chiku (mother of Chiku). This whole week she is catering about 120 Aids Relief workers at Kijabe Guest House (where we are staying). I retire to bed for reflection and prayer. Now that's a good day! Today was good too, we returned to the primary school and have continued our work with the 6th graders. And as I speak we are currently aiding another missionary family with childcare as the give birth to another. God has definitely placed us here to be used in many ways! All to His glory!
