Long time no internet:
It’s been a long time, no internet. That’s why I haven’t posted a blog. I wrote one to post on march 31st, but our internet modem stopped working. So 3 ½ weeks & a bazillion (great to read though!) emails in my inbox later…….here I am! Hiiiii!!!!
I planned on just showing you a few pictures from our Easter celebration, but all my pictures are on Lindsey’s computer (because mine’s been on its last leg for a few months), and her computer stopped working on April 15. =/ We’re praying everything can be recovered when she gets home on May 2. So, it will be awhile before I can post any more pictures. But! Please stay tuned, because I will post some! And I’ll continue to write more specific posts.
For now, just know that I watched a sheep get slaughtered for our Easter feast.
And Lindsey helped deliver a cow, and I filmed it. (I couldn’t touch it, ew, I can hardly handle a small cut).
We got to climb Mt. Logonot, a lone-standing mountain with a crater on top in the Great Rift Valley. We took all the kids who are ages 14 and up. It was a blast! AND our kids made it all the way to the summit and all the way around the crater, 10 km...we were so proud of them!!! Lindsey and I were afraid we were gonna fall of the mountain, so we just stayed at the top of the crater and took pictures. =)
The new Tumaini Library is a success and was officially up and running on April 7!!! Bwana asifiwe! Praise the LORD!
The rains finally began on March 27, and one week later our water returned! But then the next day it stopped. Oh well, I’ve come to enjoy bucket baths…sorta. =p
I held in all my tears today until the car started driving away from the home. I didn’t want to make the kids sad. They wrote me the sweetest letters, and this last week has been just wonderful. My taxi driver was really understanding. =) Karanja wrote me a letter that said I made him feel like he wasn’t an orphan. Melt my heart, Karanja.
And I’m only one week away from the land of enchildas and free-flowing strawberry applesauce (2 foods I’ve missed the most). =)
I'll be in Nairobi until the 22nd!

Glad you made it back to Nairobi...I can't believe it's already time for you to come home. I'm excited for you! Have a safe trip...Love you, Cindy
I'm with Cindy, i can not believe its getting real close in time of yo flying back here to the states. We should have a Welcome Home party for you in which i'm 100% you're mom and dad are planning on it but whom knows, thats a good idea though. Anyways, well, American Idol is still on tv, only a few weeks left and tomorrow night they're having to knock off two contestants cuz of last weeks results show, thats just to make a long story short. Anoop "Noopdog" Desai is still on thank goodness, he's awesome in my personal opinion. Have a safe trip home.
