Seriously, how does one update you on her entire life over the past few months in a short enough manner that you will actually enjoy reading this? I have no clue! But here is my attempt!
The term went well, I hope and think... I will recieve my grades shortly... but I am finished with all of my assignments. Some of my favorite assignments were: visiting a mosque and writing about it, writing about my view of Scripture, and going into town and talking to people about Christ. Those were the fun ones, there were 27 others that weren't quite as fun... but my brain is mushing with new info... don't worry?!?!
I have joined a church! Praise God... I thought after Koinonia, nothing would compare! The name is Nairobi Chapel and I enjoy the sermons and worship and although it is big, there are many opportunities to "plug in" and get to know others.
I have also been involved in many different ministries. I have helped out the with children's Bible Club on campus, sung on praise team in chapel, supported a small childrens home in Dagoretti (pic to right... sorry can't make it face the right way, but just crick your neck a little bit!), and will begin helping with the young adult and missions ministries at my church in Jan!
Being the rep for student council was good. I really got to know more about the school and the difficulties and strengths that come in keepin it going, etc. We are really experiencing financial difficulties... but we are in the hands of God.

We have done many surprise birthday parties! Nidah, Bro, Zippy! Those were fun! I have traveled to visit friend's homes! Singles fellowship has been great with our random potlucks, movie and game nights! Traveled with the football team (as the "team doc"). Also, I have been exploring more of the city! I love my new found friends and family here and am grateful for them!
On a sad note, there have been many deaths while I have been here. Most of whom I have known indirectly. But it has been a grave reality here in Africa, much more common and it spares no one- baby, newly wed, parents, friends and elderly. Please pray for my friends who are dealing with such tragedies. And live your life in love and in line with God now because you are not promised tomorrow!
This break I plan on traveling to the coast (Mombasa and Milinde) with my friend, Lorna. And then going to Machakos, Kali and Masii with my friend, Zippy. I am very excited- and need to start taking my malaria meds just in case!
Speaking of meds- I have been sick on and off all term... with diagnosis such as malria, food poisioning, typhoid, amoebia, bacterial infections... not so fun... but I am still alive! Praise God!
I have really appreciated everyone who has emailed, real mailed, facebooked, and skyped me! Although Kenya is great, sometimes being in a familiar culture with familiar faces sounds really good and can get me down... so please do not forget me out here and continue to contact me and pray for me!
Along with praying, i have a few items that would be very helpful in ministry if you might be able to collect and send:
1. soccer balls (you can send them deflated, all sizes)
2. children's books
3. jump ropes
4. any laptop that you might not be using
5. english Bibles
6. children's Gospel/ christian CDs
7. markers, crayons and coloring books
All can be sent to me at:
