The Sears Family
Sorry no pictures today. The telecom service has been pretty patchy this month and it is difficult to make a local phone call, let alone sustain an internet connection.
We had the pleasure of picking up the Sears family yesterday at the airport as they landed from Rwanda with their daughter Rebecka who has been serving over this past year in the area of peace and reconciliation. No doubt, some of you maritimers will the know the Sears family from Fredericton and Brunswick Street Baptist Church.
We dropped them off at the bus station in Eastleigh before dawn this morning, so that they could travel to Garissa. Alan and Jane had served at the Garissa Middle School for a year in the early 1980s. We look forward to hearing about their experience of Garissa (how different does it look some 25 years later?) when they return on Monday. We are praying for safe travels and for their reconnection with old students still living in the community.

Well...this is exciting!! I learned from your blog that Alan & Jane Ann have been with you. We go back to college days. I knew that their daughter has been in Rwanda. Please convey to them my greetings & prayer support.
And... God bless you as you search for a home & vehicle & carry on with your busy schedules. Love & Prayers, Greta
P.S. Just exactly 6 months ago today that we were on our way to Nairobi. Wow! And the team from Dartmouth will be there on Thursday!!

Hello Greta!
Wow, six months,.. we remember well the joy of following you, Muriel and Donna through your blog as you came to serve here in Nairobi. Thanks so much for all of your encouragement!
We will see the Sears one last time tomorrow before they return home and we'll be sure to pass along your hello.
