AK-47s and pretty hair.

On our way to Loki, Kenya where we'd spend the night and then fly out in the morning to Nairobi for the meeting and R&R, the Lewis car had, not one, but two flat tires.  The soldier in the picture did not hesitate one moment, buy was quick to help out!  See his AK-47!
This lovely notice was posted above a toilet in Loki
Here is the complete contents of my bag of goodies from the states!
My journeygirl buddies and I with our American goods
Benton at his boarding school, Rift Valley Academy, playing his coronet!!! We went to visit him after the meeting ended, and he definitely blew our minds with his trumpeting skills!!!
Aww....Benton and Walker on the RVA campus...
Nerd alert!  Here I am touching a cornerstone that Teddy Roosevelt laid way back in 1909 when RVA was built!
Me and my favorite jman teammate around the RVA stone

The Lewis family minus Davis--who stayed behind at Brackenhurst to share the story of Creation that he memorized, shared with kids at a nearby orphanage, and would share again with the adults at the meeting!
An awesome tree outside the "caf" at RVA--
the juniors hang their chai cups for tea time on this tree
Walker was pooped from a hard week of play and fell asleep in church
Me with my little buddy, Nathan, from my FPO family
Mindy and I with our pretty hair after getting it washed, cut, and straightened!
The Lewis boys did not like it...that's because they only really know us both with really curly hair!
This week we also picked up our new Toposa teammates, Jonathon and Holly Lesley, from the airport!  Please be praying for them as they are shopping like crazy for everything and are pretty overwhelmed with all the change.  They are so chill and are handling it all very well.  Pray for His continued peace!
