Sleep Over Fun


Last night we had a great time with Kelvin and Kenan Carline. First we went to the Masai Market where we had fun bartering and learned a few Swahili words from one of the vendors. We now know all the parts of our face. Then we headed home for some pizza and a sleepover. Tristan, Emma, Kelvin and Kenan went to bed way too late and were up way too early but they had a great time.
We had a pancake breakfast with the night guard of the apartment building who we invited up after his shift. It was a great morning full of unexpected twists. As we were getting ready for a playdate with another new family to Kenya (classmates of Tristan and Emma) Tristan, Emma and I got locked in the bedroom. Strangely, the key that locked the door did not unlock it. Three hours later, after much effort and many attempts by Aaron, the landlord had a handyman break the lock and rescue us. So we changed our playdate from a lunch picnic to a supper picnic and fun was had by all. We met a great family from the States serving with the Pan African University. We are home now and as we look back on the day we are so thankful that God is with us through every twist and turn.

That is a really funny story.LOL Glad you were rescued. I'm curious why you would need to lock yourselves in the bedroom? I bet the maintenance man was entertained by all the excitement.

Hi you all,
The Week of prayer for Christian unity is happening this week. South Africa is some of the focus. Just the mention of Africa brings you folks to mind. It looks like the children are having a great time and I hope you are recording your experiences in a journal for the future. God Bless. Bev
