too long since I posted an update!
Zeke and Violet
So it has been way too long since I posted an update, but here a little bit about why! Jeff left town on Sunday morning for a conference in Nairobi so I've been the one dealing with everything. Running a children's home is no easy task. Usually if we have an employee issue Jeff deals with that, if we have a disciplinary issue with a boy Jeff deals with that, if we have a staff meeting Jeff runs that, if we have people show up asking for a job Jeff deals with that, if we have some building going Jeff deals with that, anytime we have major behavior issues to address Jeff is involved with that, but the last few days all of that has fallen on me plus the normal life of being a Mama to many! I feel a little frazzled and torn on what to do next because I always have something to do next. Oh did I mention I don't sleep much when Jeff's gone and I have some sort of infection where my impacted molar is? I promise you I'm not complaining, life here is so good even when I'm frazzled and without my love by my side!
A brother and a sister about 5 and 6 years old with bad jiggers we are helping
Today Karson sprayed 5 homes for jiggers. A few days ago we met a woman who had many jiggers even in her hands. ð So she and several of her neighbors were treated and had their homes sprayed today.
Next up on our agenda is to get the kids ready for school, they start back Monday for the final term of this year. We are currently trying to make sure each child has a pair of shoes to wear ðð and I will likely have to buy several pairs this weekend.
Our sweet Lexy girl! Lord please send us to the right places with the right doctors for her! ð
Friday Jeff and I will travel to pick up a little girl (Lexy) with special needs. What her exact needs are we aren't sure, with complex issues it can be hard to get a real diagnosis. She is 3 and can't walk or talk, but she can hear and she eats just fine! Jeff just today made a new connection with a hospital we are hoping will be able to give us some real answers. Please pray for Lexy! She need LOTS of prayers and so do we as her parents, we want to help her in any way that we can.
Totally unrelated (told you I felt frazzled ðĪŠ) but Jeff got told today (by a guy from the US) that he sounded like he was native to Kenya ððð our Texas is gone!!!! ððð I have noticed how "country" others sound when we video chat and I knew it had to be because our accent had changed! But I'm still saying y'all and my Kenyan accent won't stop that!
Thanks for following this crazy, joy filled journey God has us on!
Random pictures because it has been a while!
