Uhh... ya I'm American...

After our third full day in Kenya we are back at the ENT house brainstorming ideas for our performance on Sunday (more on that later) at church. Anna and Jenn taught the kids the second lesson from Kid's Village this morning and it went off without a hitch. They even got the kids up and taught them "Rise and Shine" with hand motions. The kids loved it! Everyone is getting more and more acquainted with the schedule and the relationships. You can really tell the kids are getting more and more comfortable with us. So thankful for their joy, smiles, and laughter.

Every Friday at Naomi's Village is Fun Food Friday! We decided to make "Ants on a Log" (pretzels, or sometimes celery, peanut butter, and raisins) once the school kids returned this afternoon. All of the kids know to come in and sit on the floor for instructions and after their instructions they say they're Fun Food Friday chant. So cute! Julie instructed me to really engage the kids in teaching them how to make the snack so how did I start?? "Who has ever eaten a bug?" More than HALF the kids raised their hands!!!! I turned bright red and immediately thought yep I'm American... I should have asked how many of them have had pretzels before! Needless to say after teaching them how to make their snack they loved it! Most of them ended up scooping up the peanut butter and eating it separately, and most of it smeared across their cheeks. 

Painting has continued in the girls wing and the first room is done minus a few touch-ups here and there. Which is a great accomplishment! We have sanded the bathroom and will prime it on Monday. As for the weekend, tomorrow is Safari day and Sunday is our church service in the Nairobi slums. We also may have the opportunity to pray over the site of the recent explosion (I think Julie posted on it recently). 

Prayer requests: That the Lord would continue to use us to show Himself and His love to the kids and staff at Naomi's Village; for wisdom and sensitivity to the Spirits guiding; for Joshua as he prepares to preach in the slum church on Sunday; our time in prayer and whatever else the Lord has planned as we are at the explosion site in the slums; continued energy and good health; and safety as we travel to Lake Nakuru and are on Safari tomorrow!
