Earthquakes!!

Over the past few days we have experienced six small earthquakes here in Nairobi. The largest awoke us in the middle of the night with the glass shaking in our windows and doors rattling. (We have no fine china so there were no worries of broken tea sets or the like). We have heard of no significant damage from the tremors, it has been very minor. The latest took place about 5 am this morning and then again at about 2 pm this afternoon.

Today, Tristan and Emma begin a week of soccer camp at Rosslyn Academy. They are in the final four weeks of summer vacation before returning to school on August 14th. Tristan will be entering the third grade and Emma can't wait to start in grade one!

Classes are going very well in Eastleigh. Our students were a buzz over the earthquakes. One student laughed about them "If Eastleigh hasn't crumbled, then they can not be that bad!"

Erica enjoyed some time today with the some Somali friends who were creating Henna decorations on the hands and feet of the Ogilvie family (Bonnie, Lauren and Annie) who are visiting from British Colombia, Canada. Robert is a pastor of Westwood Community Baptist in Coquitlam, just outside of Vancouver.

Thank you all so much for your prayers! We are still camping out on mattresses in our new apartment as we await furniture. Erica and I have been painting in the evenings and slowly getting the apartment set up. We are so thankful to have a place to call home.

God Bless!
