Thursday .....

Hi Folks,

Firstly, apologies for the plethora of typos in yesterday's post. That's what comes from rushing your blog entries! Can't promise that today will be any better but we can but try!

Yesterday, Kellie spent the day working with Gideon in the Dundori clinic and then she went to Nakuru to work with his private clinic. Kellie, I'm sure has some interesting stories to tell. There is an abundance of typhoid and malaria in the region that she has been dealing with. Please pray for her that she will be able to use her experience to encourage the staff and treat patients. We have arranged some visits to the local hospitals and government health clinics so she gets as wide a perspective as possible on health care in Kenya.

Simon, Fran and myself spent the morning in Nakuru buying electrical equipment so Simon could fit out the IT suite in the school. We then drove to Kamwaura and dropped it all off at the school. Simon starts the electrical work today and has two men helping him. We hope to finish by Monday so please pray about that as the deadline is quite tight.

After we had been back to the school Fran, Simon and I went to Molo to see the work there. We went via Leonard's daughters graduation from nursery. It was wonderful to see the proud parents and the children dressed up in their graduation gowns. It was a special time and a privilege to be a part of it.

Finally we had a mad dash down a Kenyan highway (!) to Lanet church where I led a bible study and ministered to the church. We have been asked back next Wednesday and so have shifted our arrangements slightly so we can visit the Lanet Church again.

Simon and Fran have both gone off to the school today and will be working there. Simon with the electrics and Fran with the children. N.B not electric women or children!!!

Today Kellie is hoping to do some home visits with a local health worker and I shall be meeting with local Pastors to discuss the coming elections and the plans to emphasise peace in the nation.

We are having an incredibly educational time here in Kenya, we are learning lots and feel that God is really at work through the local churches in this region of Kenya and in our own lives.

We are all eating too much of Fennih's food and are fearful that our shape may change by the time we return to UK. We are being looked after incredibly well and are grateful of the Kenyan hospitality.

We miss you all and really appreciate the comments on the blog, text messages and the odd phone calls. Please keep in touch.

Geoff, Simon, Fran, Kellie.
