Two more days....for 6 of us.. Pray for us all

Well, only two days left to get all the things done that we need to do.
This past week has flown by since Graham and Brenda came. We had a sports day on Friday at Mercy Home, with all the children cheering on the teams.Baraton school came, which is a public school, our children did well against alot bigger school.
On Saturday we had a board meeting with the Kenya Board, and a Jamboree for the children. They really got into the dances and singing, mostly the medium size girls, who can sing like nothing you have seen before! The drums were playing(two plastic containers) and boy did they dance. After the jamboree we had bread with jam, and balloons. Big Mike was the MC for the day, he did an awesome job. The practicing was almost as much fun as the real thing.
On Sunday the church officially said Hello to Graham and Brenda, and goodbye to us as a team. We got gifts, 2 dresses for Candice and I and a skirt for Brenda, and material to make shirts for Dane and David. It was a touching moment, as the Mama's Bible study ladies, and other church members sang and gave us our gifts. Only in Kenya would three women change their clothes behind purple and white sheets, so that everyone could see our new outfits....what a hoot!!
On March 1st Dane and I and David will travel with Graham and Brenda to Mauritius to see where they live, we are really looking forward to that time with them, and see some of the Mauritius sights and relatives.

So four of our team will leave Kitale on Thursday, going to Nairobi to visit some folks that we met a few years ago. Elizabeth and Michah actually came to see Mercy Home before the children were moved out there in 2007, so it will be nice to update them on the work.
Candice will leave Kitale around March 8th to meet up with us in Nairobi, to fly home on the 10th.

It will be hard on Wednesday to say goodbye to everyone, but God is Faithful and He will give us strength and comfort as we depart.
