Birthday Bash! (and more rain)


Happy 23rd Lindsay Wahl!

Today commenced on schedule. After an inspiring devotion from our man Don, out to the work site we went.

Lindsay got two special gifts for her birthday, a cold and a poopy high five (from a student of the potty training academy)!
...She also got a nice card

There was spaghetti for lunch, which Kim loved. And the team was introduced to peanut butter and bacon sandwiches, thanks to Adam.

We almost finished the third course of stone all the way around the building. If not for yet another strong rainstorm we would have been well into the fourth this afternoon. Perhaps tomorrow will prove a bit more productive. Let us pray for fewer weather interruptions.

This evening, Todd got to take the prized Land Cruiser out for a spin through the rural Kenyan landscape. What a thrilling ride! Bumps and bounces and twists and turns. Fishtailing and four wheel mud flinging. Shifting with the left hand was a more comfortable experience than he expected. Those along for the ride were treated to a concert of the unique calls of tree frogs out in the wilderness before returning to the compound.

After dinner, Andrew lead an incredibly moving devotion and a concluding prayer complete with sound effects.

All is well

  1. One wonders whether Todd will want to trade in his Jeep for a right-hand drive Land Cruiser?

  2. I am thinking of all of you and keeping you in my prayers. Wish I was with you.
