I have a few things to say. But before I get started, I will post my recent facebook updates that I was posting via phone as this is my first post via computer.

We are here and have much to share, but need a full keyboard to do so. Hopefully real internet tomorrow. Just have phone for now. Looong trip. Jet lagged children and Cindy. locals fetching water daily. setting up home. very welcomed so far. lots of curiosity and gawking. very very rare to see a white family out here. appreciate prayers. love from kenya. carriers.

We are settled in. have phones. have internet. got solar (limited). cindy has a real stove with an oven. need to open a po box and bank acct still. house and furnishings all set. next few days will be establishing logistics and networking. water is fetched from a spring 1000 ft away. purchased a tank yesterday to collect rainwater and will install a well in our borehole soon. a local neighbor agreed to do our shopping every couple days as is not practical for cindy plus littles to trek 4 km daily for food (no fridge). kids got bikes and a kitten.

Learning patience. Everything here takes forever. No one on a timetable. Get used to waiting around for hours. Must aim real low with daily hold. Also, i now know how celebrities feel being cases around. Can’t go anywhere witout children, Vendors, and gawkers everywhere to touch or sell to the muzungu. Will put this situation to advantage for ministry soon.
also corruption abounds. around every corner.
continue to pray for wisdom, open hearts and minds, and the Spirits leading for me and partners.
In Christ’s love
