Well it has been a whirlwind week for us but we are finally settling in a bit. I am sad I can't upload pictures, but I will make sure I do as soon as we get back. Here are some highlights from the week.
  • Moved into a different house on the campus. We are now sharing a two bedroom house with the Sawatskys. This makes cooking and taking care of the kids much easier, but it is a challenge with having two toddlers in the house with sleeping. Christon and I spent Wednesday morning packing up all of our belongings and food for the month and moving it across campus. Thankfully we had help since we had the two little ones with us.
  • Our computer bit the dust
  • Prepped our food for the month: cut and bagged chicken, shredded cheese etc.
  • Hail and rain non stop followed by our power being out for 24 hours. We had to move all of our food back to the apartment so it didn't get spoiled.
  • Bible study at the Whites house for visiting staff and Kenyan residents. It was a great time of worship and fellowship.
  • I (Reena) got to work with some babies in the NICU with feeding and assessing range of motion. I am loving working in the NICU here.
  • Andy has been working hard in the pediatric unit, he covers inpatient floors, NICU, and outpatient clinic. He has seen some very interesting cases.
  • ***** We got to see MOSES!!!! I will write more about him later, but he is a little boy that we met last time we came to Kenya. He was not expected to survive (he was found in the river) but he made it and he was recently adopted by a family in Bomet. They came to the hospital to do some paper work and Amy Bemm called me so I could see him. He is so big now. God is so good. I have thought about him so much these past 4 years and I am so happy that he his with a family that loves him.

Wow! What adventures you're having -- both exciting and difficult. Having a little one who also doesn't sleep or eat well at times, I can totally relate to your concerns about Arathena's sleeping in tight quarters, and disliking the food . . . I'll continue to pray for you guys.

The story about Moses was so exciting!
