Friday:
Our time at Tumiani is ending very quickly. We spent our day finishing projects and giving all the supplies we brought.
We painted some offices at the primary school. It has been very difficult to leave work undone and to say no when people ask if we can do other projects. It was a joy, though, to see the chalkboards we painted with the day's lesson on them.
We delivered supplies to Huruma, the primary and secondary school, and the tailoring program. Julie was able to spend time at the tailoring program and my dad taught a class for the computer program. It was exciting to see all the different talents God put to use in Kenya.
Most of our team also met with the partnership committee.
The best part of the day was worshiping with the children during their Friday night worship. It was so beautiful to be jumping and dancing for Lord with these children. The music was incredible. It was especially striking the listen to these children sing about counting your blessings. The heart the children have for Christ is extraordinary.

Wow. Great to read through the blog for the week. Amazing to hear of all you all have seen and experienced! Griffin, bring back that lion wrestling skill!
We love you guys!

Thanks for giving us a window into your days. I was reading your postings out loud to Kirsten; but reading aloud meant weeping for all that each of you is experiencing.
Thinking of you and praying for you. Thanks for sharing with us through the blog. God is at work -- we are all brothers and sisters from one Father. We are one church.

We are so glad that you all are having such an impact on the children and people of Kenya (and vice versa). It's such a treat to read about your experiences. Ethan can't wait for Grandma and Grandpa to come back home!
Love to everyone!

Ben and I have enjoyed reading about your experiences. It must be overwhelming to see God's work first hand in that area. We pray for your safe return.
Blessings to you all,
Linda & Ben
