5 days of God's handiwork! :)

Friday

21, May, 2010 (This is how they write the date here in Kenya)

"I Believe if Jesus calls me to get out of the boat, He is going to be there to help me walk on the water. If I start to sink, He'll reach His hand down and He'll lift me up. God will give you everything you need to do everything He has called you to do. You are in His hands and in His will, and there is no better place to be."

So I woke up this morning to read those words. It was in a card that my mama had given to me before I left and she dated them. She is such an encouraging woman and I adore her :)

Today was a progressive Friday. A lot is happening in the Mtepani village at the Mbewau Academy. When I had first arrived on Monday the road was not completed and the feeding center was just getting started but after a week 5 days of being here, they have finished the road, they are putting the grass on top of the hut that is in the middle of the land. The foundation is has been set for the feeding center and they are on there way with that project. They put a gate up for the storage area of the school. I have decorated one classroom and the clinic. In the clinic we have finished the medical table and many kids are getting proper medicine for infections or colds.

Many things are happening here and many more things are coming. It is so cool to watch this school grow.

I am learning more swahili everyday and becoming comfortable with it and I am starting to learn more of the kiddos names each day! Those kids keep me going. The Lord has blessed me with them because they feel me with energy!

Well, I am going to help Lisa with some book keeping for the school files so I have to go but thank you all for the prayers and it is going great here!

Kwaheri! (bye bye)

WIth Love,
