Hi everybody! It's been one week since we've left for Kenya and it's crazy how fast the time is going by. All of the days are starting to run together! Our work on the kitchen at Rehema Home is going very well (in my opinion) despite some changes in our plans. And the kids here are incredible. My favorite part of each day is seeing those kids and talking with them. Well, since it's late, 11:03 pm here in Nairobi, I'm just going to write down some of the things we did yesterday and today. Here goes!
August 8th (yesterday)
- Picked up any tiles that fell down overnight in the pantry area
- Finished tiling the pantry
- Began tiling the kitchen area (lot's of tiling going on!)
- Painted the grates on the windows in the kitchen
- Made tamborines and moraccas with the kids as the daily craft
- Half the group walked back to the guest house in the Kenyan rain
August 9th (today)
- Everyone woke up at 6:00 am so we could leave the guest house around 7:00
- Started to grout the pantry area and finished!
- Continued to tile the kitchen area and paint the windows
- Started painting the ceiling in the kitchen
- Continued electrical work
- Went to Java House with Ruth and Irv and Mark and Michelle
And some other stuff probably happened, but I'm tired and it's late and I can't remember any more! Hope everything is going well back home! Keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
Love,
Maddy Holtje
