A Day in the village


This afternoon we went to visit Simon's family in his village about an hour from Nairobi. Simon works here on the SIM compound and has become a good friend. He wanted us to see his home and meet his wife, son, and the rest of his relatives. So we trekked out on some rough roads and arrived to a beautifully spread feast.


Simon lives in a lush, beautiful village. After we ate, he took us on a long walk to see his gardens, village, and to meet some of his friends and family. We had a wonderful time. Isaac thoroughly enjoyed hiking through steep trails and taking in all the sights. He loved all the attention from the village children too.


Simon has a small farm. He owns 2 cows, a bunch of chickens, 2 dogs, and a cat. One of the highlights was watching them milk the cows. And of course Isaac and Evan had a great time exploring and meeting all the animals.

Why does sickness like to hang around so long???

Only a few days after returning from our trip to Kenya, Judah started spiking high fevers. We took him to our clinic here in town for blood ...
