Well, we have been on term break for over a week and now. We have been able to relax, especially in the evenings, but have still managed to keep somewhat busy during the days. We have hosted people to dinner at the house, got in some needed shopping in Nairobi, gone to a craft fair, a worked at a Family Fun Day that was put on by the school for the Kenyan nationals and their families that work here full time.
The national staff and their families were treated to a full day of activities for both the children and adults. A picnic lunch of pork, goat, rice, Seppati which is like a tortilla, and dessert was provided. Some of the activities included a puppet show, disc jockey, acrobats, blow up jumping houses, water slide, and various games. Many of the staff including Debbie helped bake the desserts. My day started out at five AM in the morning to help roast the pigs. The day started in pouring rain, but shortly cleared up with a beautiful double rainbow and the warm sunny weather before the guests arrived. The Lord provides, doesn't He.
Debbie and several other ladies were busy preparing many pounds of cooked rice during the morning and then working the serving tables. In spite of the hard work, we all had fun and I believe it made an impact in the lives of the staff and their families. I have included several pictures of the day for you to view..
