Church and the Market

We went to Godsave's church today and it was a great experience. The Africans are a tad more expressive in their worship and it was a ton of fun. We were at church for almost 3 hours and we arrived after it started and left before it ended. We went to a Massai market and spent our money on ebony trinkets. (I am not responsible for what your kids bring home) Fortunately no one could figure out how to bring the 5 foot spears onto the airplane.
We are all healthy aside from a few headaches and tiredness.
Tomorrow we head to Mairowa for 3 nights, so this will be my last post until Thursday. Please pray for continued health and that our efforts in Mairowa would be productive. Pray that we all adjust well to the rustic living conditions and that we don't fall into complaining. We are excited to see what God has in store for us.

Hey guys-Christine here. Just wanted to say thanks for all the prayers! We have for sure felt them! We all are doing well! The fact that we are in Africa is still surreal to us, but we are having a blast! Please be praying for the next few days, we are going to be staying in the village, and its going to be a real stretching point for all of us! Thanks ahead of time for the prayers! We all hope you all are doing well! :)

Happy Father's Day Jason!! Thanks for filling in as "Dad" for all of our kids! We will pray for patience for you as you deal with these young men and women who may get tired, cranky and complain!

PS Jason... Shannon let me borrow your bike while your gone. I thought that was really nice of her, seeing that there are three vehicles and one driver in your house. It's wicked fast...

Yesterday I saw photos from the team from SBC who went two weeks before you all - I substituted your faces in the photots in my mind- except for Warren - since he really was in the photosl It was fun to see where you all are even though the photos weren't of you. Continue to love the people there - knowing that you are serving Christ no matter what you are doing. Thanks to Warren, Jason, and Christine for watching over our kids and being godly mentors. Rachel - can't wait to see you and hear all the stories...sad that you are going to camp the very next day as it will delay the story telling - glad you are there and able to experience God's people...
