In Kisumu

We arrived in Kisumu Sunday morning and were so blessed to be picked up by our dear friend Diane! I cried when I Peg saw her. I am a little sleep deprieved, but it just did my heart good to see someone we knew waiting there for us. It made it feel more like home. :) Poor KG was up at 4:30 that morning and didn't get to sleep again until 1:15 that afternoon. Needless to say sleep wasn't great last night. She woke up at 2:30 am and didn't go back to sleep until an hour later. She was factinated by the mosiquito net, (which did look pretty cool since daddy had made it go around her bed and ours) and kept playing with it. And of course ended up creating a lovely gap inviting any bug who was interested. :0 PTL we woke up with no bites! We are here with the Gordan family and KG is loving being with Abby who looks like she is 4 but is only 2. They are having a lot of fun together! :) Well, we have seen a lot in these two days. Diane took us to see two houses yesterday and the Lord showed us some things here in Kisumu that we didn't expect. He is showing us the unreached here and it is throwing us for a bit of a loop. Mainly because it is a lot of the white community here and Indians. He has given us a lot to pray about! We have been to two communities to look at housing and feel really good about one area. We are learning so much of things we need to bring and have and things we need to do. We are so blessed to have Steve and Diane and the so many missionary families. I even visited an International school for children where there could be an opportunity to teach dance. This afternoon we are headed to the supermarket to do pricing for household items. We are pleased to tell you that Kisumu is at rest and people are doing well here but recovering from the riots and unrest. (Matt now writing) Tomorrow we will be meeting with one of the local boys who is currently residing in Nairobi and whom we met at CIF (Ed Compeans church) He has a heart to reach Kisumu where his family is from and he has given us a page full of the prayer needs of the community here. The first and biggest prayer need he gave us was for a Bible Believe & Bible Teaching church that will teach through the Word of God. Needless to say, since that is just what we feel God is calling us to do, we were very excited about meeting and talking with him futher. Although we met him at Ed's church in Nairobi, he happend to be traveling to Kisumu at the same time as us and hence we are able to further converse with him while here in Kisumu. Well, we will write more later. Thank you for your prayers.
