In Kenya with Kenya! It has been a one of our biggest blessings and one of our biggest challenges to have our 14 month daughter Kenya Grace with us on this trip to Nairobi, Kenya. The challenges have been mostly in two areas, that of sleep, and that of cleanliness (trying to keep her from having too much contact with many, many germs, which is especially difficult while ministering in the slums). On the other hand, the joy and delight on peoples face to see a mazungu (white) baby here in Kenya is worth it all. Not only that but their reaction to her name is so priceless. God has been using her to soften hearts and open up opportunities to minister and share about Jesus. God uses all things for his glory.

Today, Peg and I had a beautiful time visiting a language school we are interested in with our missionary friends the Compeans. It was a fun a relaxing day for us, and beautiful country. Keep us in prayer as we pray through which language school God would have us go to.
