Welp it's December.... How did that happen?




Here's a look back on a few fantastic events! THANKSGIVING in Kenya!!!!

Remember those turkeys from the other blog... well, this is them ;) Delicious!
Rebecca crafted this spit and commissioned it to be built especially for this task.

4 hours on the spit... Mateo and Thomas kept the turkeys lookin so right!
Of course it threatened rain all day, so the tarp was a must. (The gray bag is the Kenyan charcoal bag.)

Such an awesome meal! Everyone helped to serve each other. 

Delicious meal complete with fun Thanksgiving napkins thanks to mom and dad's box!

Rebecca spearheaded our Thanksgiving celebration - complete with deep dish pumpkin pie! We had a cooking schedule for all our food - Rebecca mapped it all out - which burner to use (only 4) and only one make shift oven (made out of pots and rocks and water).

We made turkeys for everyone and we wrote what we were thankful for about each other. 

The day after thanksgiving equals CHRISTMAS TIME!!! :) these shirts were also in the box mom and dad sent. We set up the projector and watched Christmas movies and ate Thanksgiving leftovers. It was a GREAT weekend!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. And we've been enjoying the upcoming Christmas season with Christmas movies ;) There was another great thing to celebrate - Nelly (the Program Leader for Healthcare) delivered a healthy baby boy on Nov. 23rd.

This is Nelly and Maroa - Maroa is Nelly's son. Here he is less than a day old.

Mom, these are the Christmas booties ;) 

Nelly is a PROUD mother of 4 - Maroa, Enid & Cheril (her 2 daughters), and Larry (her first born son)!

It was SUCH a blessing to visit Nelly and Maroa on Thanksgiving Day - the day after Maroa was born! SUCH a cutie! I loved visiting her, praying over her, & praising God with her for her Son. That morning she had sent me a text saying that she delivered a son - and how God had given her the desire of her heart. 


We are doing great here. We are getting ready for a 5 week break from Kenya. We'll be in India - and are really excited for that journey and opportunity. We will be on vacation for 3 weeks, and working from there our last 2 weeks before we return to Kenya. 


I have a birthday coming up - next weekend - Dirty Thirty ;) hahaha. Actually, I'm thrilled to be in Kenya for my 30th. It's a blessing to be doing a job that I'm passionate about and feel called to do, and to do it all alongside my husband. Amazing really! ;) The weekend will be a welcome change as this week will be CRAZY. It's our last 5 days of work with our Kenyan staff. LOTS to do!
