Rift Valley

Pictures do not do justice to the beautiful panorama of the Great Rift Valley.

On our way back to Nairobi from the Rift Valley, we stopped by a roadside duka (shop) for a chance to stretch our legs and take in the view. We watched children climb the winding clay paths along the steep cliffs on their way to worship. Many sang in Kiswahili and one young woman carried a large drum that she beat as they walked. What a wonderful experience of praising the Lord of all creation!

Today we have spent some time with Andai working on our visas. Please pray that everything comes together well in this tedious process. Our work in Eastleigh is going strong. Our language helpers are fantastic. On Tuesday, we had the joy of visiting the family of one girl's. She lives in a small apartment with her mother and eight siblings (her father remains in Somalia). As the second child, she carries a large share of the work in caring for such a large family. It is a blessing to be so welcomed into their lives.
