Your prayers are being answered as all across Kenya rain is slowly returning. People are planting in the villages and hoping for at least 2 to 3 weeks of good rain to get the crops going again. As I have been flying over the country, barren dry parched soil is turning light green with foliage again for the first time this year. Life in Nairobi is also on an upward trend. We have had running water almost all month and power rationing is being reduced.
Life is so much easier when the simple amenities of life are returned.
Our family has been blessed with a good month and we don't take it for granted. We had a good thanksgiving with our missionary family and have set up our Christmas decorations early. Unfortunately Jonathan is not as patient or understanding and has managed to reach his calendar and other siblings' calendars to eat his way further into the season than recommended. Michelle is back in the field office assisting with the church finances due to changing of personnel on the field. She is working a l ittle more in the office these days to try and help keep the books flowing smoothly.
