Our time in Campbell River is running out and we leave December 28th Victoria, then for Kenya on December 31st. Fortunately (for Howard) Judy is doing all of those things necessary to make sure we are prepared to leave with all the things we will need. Howard is getting even more nervous as to whether he is really prepared to teach younger learners and is re-reading his ESL textbooks. Recently we heard from Philip, (who began and manages the Stars for Jesus Orphanage), who told us how nice the weather is (about 25 – 28 C most of the time), and how nice and green the countryside looks. That’s something to look forward to!
We finished packaging up the English library books that we collected and the last of those just went out. The picture above is of Judy taking one of the packages to the post office for mailing. A number of people have sent parcels of books or school supplies, paid for packages to be sent, or donated to some of the projects we hope to do while we are in Africa. We want you to know how thankful we are for the help. Partners make the trip so much more worthwhile and it would not be near as rewarding if we didn’t have the support of many of you. In so far as your help with our Kenyan kids is concerned, take a few minutes to read Mark 9:36-37, and see the magnitude of your involvement. This is serious stuff! Now we can hardly wait to pick the books up in Africa, build a bookshelf, and get the kids started reading, as well as read to the younger students.
We hope you have a blessed and meaningful time this Christmas, enjoying your family and friends, and considering the gift of life we have been given. We will write to you from Kenya in the New Year.
