This coming Sunday (10th June) Seth, Liz and myself (James) will be traveling to Kenya. It has been almost a year since Seth and I have been in Chwele at the school, so we are excited to see how it has changed. Unfortunately, Quincie will be unable to come with us this year. We have recently found out that she in pregnant and under the advice of many doctors it seems as though it is wise for her to remain at home. As heartbreaking as it is for Quinc being unable to see her dear friends in Kenya this is the right decision. There are many diseases that a pregnant Westerner would face that a normal non-pregnant Westerner would not.
The school house now has a roof. It is covered and ready for the windows, doors and plastering. It will function as the hub of the school as well as housing for the leaders and a few children. Perhaps the most desperate cases will find this their home in the coming weeks. We pray for guidance and wisdom in making decisions over the next month. Some will be difficult to make I am sure.
As I understand it Job and Kutete have been working on a place for us to stay. They were gracious enough last year to organise this for us and in their usual form have done all the necessary preparations for us without us even asking. Evelyne is staying hard and we look forward to her completing her studies and being a fully trained teacher at West. I think the studying must be a trying time for her since she has been detached from academia for so long. But as we all know she is very very strong willed and with the final goal of being such an asset to the school she will come through with flying colours.
Things to pray for:
Traveling mercies as always.
Completion of the Schoolhouse so we can moved onto the dormitory.
The team of ladies who will be coming out on 28th June for 2 week.
The development of the children's mental, physical and spiritual lives.
