Updates from our trips to Kenya.
It’s been a good day. Took all the kids to the Kitale Museum nature park. They are on school break and I’ve enjoyed being around them so much. Tomorrow is our last day here already.

Needed to make it if I wanted a rocking chair.

Evidence of walking a lot ..or I’m an engineer.
Only 60 balloons.
This porch needed a white haired guy and a rocking chair.
Weve had some challenges with power but over all it is incredibly pleasurable here. LSH is a happy place. Our meetings and projects have gone well, here are a few photos of things…
Found one problem with the incoming power at the home and fixed it…sort of…can you tell that I’m a mechanical engineer…wire and tape.

Breakfast meeting with the board of The Lord’s Ministries at the new guest house
The frequently unreliable electric power service has left us without power for over a day now. The main problem with that is we run out of water because our well pump is electric. Not only do the children not get treated water to drink and cook with, neither does the community that has relied on LSH supply. I bought a 5000 watt generator and hooked it in. This will make the LSH home much more independent of outside issues. We have solar power for lights, our own water, and not we can generate power in emergencies.
Austine is one of the older boys. He has been attending a Polytechnic institute to learn auto mechanics. He assisted a mechanic repairing the brakes on our vehicle and was invited to apprentice with him during school breaks.
Some ladies enjoying the day off of school!
