Last Friday, when I finally had a chance to talk with Grace again. I asked her, knowing the answer, if she had told her family about my song. She just started laughing and laughing and finally got out a “yes”. I said, “Oh?” And she said, “Yes I told them. Then I sang it just the way you sang it!”

Then we both started laughing. She, remembering how funny it was, and me because the tables had been turned.  How often had I mimicked a non-native speaker of English? This was a first for me! And some good perspective was gained.

Well, this will be an extremely short weekly update. It’s been a hard week with lots of homesick and academic issues for several guys. Two of our boys come from Zambia and it is just too far for them to go home at midterm. All non-Kenyan kids have to have a guardian in Kenya and they will both be staying with their Kenyan guardians. One fellow is close to his guardian and is doing okay. The other guy is really struggling. And when 90 % of the kids are excited about going home and seeing family, well it’s hard on a little guy. Please pray for Seth if you think of him over the weekend.

As for us, we are going camping in a Masai village!!! So I’m sure I can make up for this short note with the details of that trip next week!

Bless you all,

Nancy
