During our two weeks here in Kenya, God has brought many special people into our lives. In our gated community, we live in one of 3 buildings and there are TONS of children. As I type, Eli and the boys are out kicking a soccer ball with about 10 kids. Today an Ethiopian family, SIM colleagues in Sudan, arrived for a time of rest and recuperation. Their boys are out playing.
Other friends we have are:
John: the guard at the gate
Simon: the compound gardener
Rose: the househelp lady who will clean your house or do your laundry for you if you ask her.
Brigitte and Joseph: a lovely couple. He is Sudanese and has been teaching us Arabic lessons every afternoon while the boys nap. Brigitte is a German nurse.
I've even developed little relationships with ladies who work at the nearby grocery store and the owner of a little shop (duka) down the road.
I will try to post pictures. Our Internet connection isn't always fast enough.
