Let me take give you today a glimpse into my environment! Over the last several weeks a steady flow of white butterfly passes through our area. Its an enchanting sight to witness. Delicate, light-hearted little creatures all around me!

More mischievous are the monkeys as they entertain with their acrobatic swings from tree to tree

This is one of my nightly companions! I don't mind, mosquito are on his menu. Although today he fell on my head when I opened the curtain. (he hides behind it at time). My scream and dance was impressive!

When the monkeys have nothing better to do they watch me in the kitchen

On Saturday we had the first seminar for the women in the church. All ages were welcomed! As you see my little friend Esther loves to hang out with me!

The seminar went very well. The women enjoyed the practical teaching. Many topics came up as we interacted together.

Its a blessing to be here,
love, Maria

Jambo from warm and humid Kenya!
Yesterday two of my Kenyan friends and I visited a local church. What a joy it was to see the children again. Last year I visited them too. They remembered my name, where I come from and even that I taught them about David and Goliath. One girl even remembered that I said that God is strong and we can do all things through him. Three quarters of the students are not from Christian back ground. It was a great joy to share with them again. Here are some of the pictures for you to enjoy. I was so happy to be there.

Children from my church gave me this book to take with me to Kenya. The kids here loved it as I read it to them.

Fruit is super delicious here in Kenya. You buy it along side the road in a small stand.

The weather has been oppressively hot, but no complains here. Today it rained at the coast.

Sweet bananas are one of my favorite

Africans love color, it even shows in the fruit display.

Dear Friends
It was so good today to worship with my friends here in Kenya. Some of the words are hard to pronounce but the Spirit is the same. Again I was welcomed home and greeted by many dear friends.

You know when you are in Kenya when

•  your toothbrush is visited by little aunts :)
