Geometry Party

Some of the girls in my Geometry class stopped by our house the night before their big Geometry test. We started out studying, and then things got a little silly.


Maybe I shouldn't have brought out the Cadbury chocolate bar!

The Animals That Weren't on Christmas Break

Image
This Mara trip did not afford us many animals, unfortunately. I knew the bounty of our last trip would be hard to follow. We joke that all the animals were on Christmas vacation, too! Here are a few that weren't: This is the hugest (if that's a word) lioness I've ever seen. And, oncemore, we were that close! When we happened upon this little silver-backed jackal, he was devouring the last of a tasty treat. It seemed a bit strange that he was enjoying it all by himself. The most typical common animal to see on a safari--the zebras. These two were kind enough to show us there better side! Now, this was COOL! We came upon a herd of about twenty to twenty-five elephants! Here's one of the mommies with her baby.

Introducing Kidogo Osegari

When we visit Ngong, we are usually met at the foot of the hills by several Masaai children. Some of them we know by name. (Joseph is the boy sitting down leisurely in front of the group.) They are there to take care of their goats or sell some of the crafts their mothers make, but since we usually go on Sabbath afternoons we never buy any thing from them.

As you can see, they plastered their faces with the colorful smiley face stickers. I asked if I could pose with them for a picture (sometimes the Masaai charge you for pictures), and they agreed.

This past Monday night, I attended a Women’s Communion in our community.   I thought I’d be participating in the Lord’s Supper, and discovered instead a wonderful fellowship meal awaiting us, where I was fed up both physically and spiritually.   I was especially happy to be there, considering the speaker was my former “teacher/mentor” from the class I no longer could attend after I started working.   She is retiring and this was her last chance to address us all, and she didn't fail us.   After thirty years of ministry, she spoke about all the things she’s learned “since I was perfect.” Perfect, right?!?! There are many things that will stay with me from her short talk.   How she’d rather not say she’s been used by God, because she’s been used by a lot of people and that’s not what God is about.   How if she’s got everything under control, watch out, because she’ll be controlling you next! How we need to eat up Scripture, but at the same time, fi...
