KENYA SKY AND LANDSCAPES

 The pictures do not come close to giving 
justice to the "Kenyan Big Sky Country".  
The cloud formations are amazing and change so quickly.
We would love to capture
the sounds of the powerful rolling thunder 
and let you hear that along with the downpour of rain.
We love the diversity of the landscapes!

Mission Calls





 MISSION CALLS

It has been such a special experience to teach these wonderful young people
and actually be there as they have opened their mission calls.
 Some have sat with their unopened calls on their laps and
bowed their head in prayer before opening up the call.
We are so short on missionaries in the Kenya Nairobi Mission that we have
anticipated each of the calls being to the KNM.  As you will see, these wonderful young people
have been called to serve in many different places throughout the world.

Their commitment to serve the Lord is real and their enthusiasm shines in their faces.
Their desire to "go where you want me to go" is very sincere!
WE HAVE COME TO LOVE THESE WONDERFUL YOUNG ELDERS AND SISTERS!
We had no idea how much it would tug at our heart strings as we sent them off!
The work of the Lord is moving forward!

This was our last trip to Eldorette to take a missionary to be set apart.
