Growing describes life, living, change. It embodies hope and a future. Hopefully, this chronicling of personal growth will multiply the crops. I want this to provide variety, and to give food for thought, not just a pastime for the person writing.

More Blessings
Yesterday we visited very interested administrators At DAYSTAR University, a Christian college here in Nairobi. They do care about our Liberian Couple who are having real struggles finding housing they can afford. We now have ideas how to direct them to get help. Pray for living expenses. EAFC doesn't do that, but our heart hurts when we see them struggling so. Don't get me wrong, they don't complain. What a testimony.
For Daystsr we had lunch with administration and STUDENTS at Pan Africa ChristianUniversity. Their testimonies, their appreciation was so inspiring. Two of the ladies when hearing about our Women of Purposr exploratory meeting today asked if they could attend, and they did. Now Sarah and I were impressed by their desire to reach out and help. And it is not like they don't have plenty to do!!!
From PACU we absolutely crossed the city from West to East through crazy traffic ti meet students and administrators at African International University (formerly NEGST) and Karen Christian College where Pastor Fred's students go. pastor Fred lives in DRC. Those that complain about all the obstacles in making EAFC work only need to meet Pastor Fred. Actually we never have met him except through Internet, but what a dedicated pastor and mentor to his students through the years. NOW here is the exciting news, in Kigali, Rwanda this next Thursday we will get to meet Pastor Fred. He's worked it out. He is traveling to meet us.
I haven't got the time, and I doubt that all our details can really be brasped, but I do want you all to know how important you are to what is going on here. We are extremely tired. Every day is intense, but we are also GOOD. Thank you for your prayers.
Today we bought products at the Maasai Market. Seeing stuff we thought would be desire st home wasn't hard, but man was this a hard shopping experience. The men that hassled you, the mental processing of whether the prices were something we could afford, bargaining when it wasn't. If we hasn't of had friends to help, we really would have been pulling out our hair.
I will save the Women of Ourpose meeting to another post.
We leave at 7:45 tomorrow to go to Nairobi Baptist Chiurch. Then Joseph and family will take us to the airport for our flight to Kampala, Uganda. MTW missionaries will rake care of us there. It will be fun to see the Evy's again.
Let me finish pavking/ one suitcase stays behind, praying that I am not over weight when 1/2 of what I am taking is gifts. But shoot, when you see their smiles with the stuff we bring, it's really worth iy.
