Kim is Here!

My dear friend, Kim, arrived from Kenya on Sunday. She is a friend from home and my roommate for the past 5 years and is now teaching in Kenya. It is really fun to have a friend from home visit me here and see this part of my life. It actually really natural feeling to be spending time with her. So far, I have had to work everyday at the babies home until 1pm so we have mostly just be relaxing, hanging out, and socializing. Last night, we went to Thai food with Marc and Rebecca which was great because Thai food is my favorite and I didn't realize they had it a restaurant close by.

Today we visited a government hospital to take gifts to the pediatric wards. The hospital was what I expected with big wards holding about 24 beds. Thankfully, the pediatric wards were only about 1/2 full. The families were appreciative and we also prayed with some of them. A very difficult time to be hospitalized.

We are now waiting for the Le Roux family to pick us up and take us to Marc's parents house. We will spend tonight and tomorrow with his family, swimming in the pool, eating great food, and opening presents. Hard to believe we will be swimming, while our families are stuck in feet of snow!! Kinda wish I was there for the big Oregon snowstorm.

We leave on the 26th for the coast for a week. I'm not sure how much internet access I will have. Love and Blessings to you all!
