This is our last day to spend with Mama Elizabeth, as we called her out at Mercy Home. Of course, the goodbyes will be rough, as they always are when you say goodbye to a friend like Nancy.
She has been such an inspiration to us all, never complaining and just jumping on that "High up step" on the bus or matatu. Her friendliness with the people she has met has meant so much to them all. The children will really miss her wide smile and hugs.
She has played the keyboard for us, during devotions each night at our host family's home. She plays by ear, and knows almost everysong we requested.
We wish her a safe trip to Australia, and hope she has a wonderful time visiting her son, daughter in law and grandchildren.
Of course, for the team, it is bittersweet, as we will see her at home in Canada when we come home. And also with Detty Edgecomb coming, another grandma, we are excited to see what impresses her about Kenya, this being her first trip.

Edwin and I have been so proud of the way Mama Elizabeth has fit in and been such a trouper with some of the physical challenges. We know she has been such a blessing to Mercy and Caring Home, and look forward to a face to face report. Nancy Cahill
