We are back in Nairobi, Kenya! We have begun to settle in and get connected with our friends and colleagues. Kim and the kids have started school and its getting busy with sports and after school activities. Our year in the US was fun but its really good to be back "home". We enjoyed all the favorite restaurants and so forth but we are finding our old favorites here are pretty nice too.
Several things have changed during our year in the USA. Most noteworthy is the power and water rationing. Due to the drought, the Hydro Electric generators can not produce enough power for the whole country at once. They have begun giveing power to certain places at certain times. Water is also being rationed, we get water once per week, on Sundays. Its really hard to believe but in parts of Kenya, there are 5 year old kids who have never seen rain! They have not had rain in over 5 years! Cattle are dying and crops wont grow. People are desperate. Keep Kenya in your prayers!

We have added one to our family, his name is Bo. He is giving us lots of laughs and he loves to play and chew. Raelyn has a special attachment to him. Our dog Coco passed away while we were in the USA so she is happy to have a little shadow.

Thanks to all of you who invited us to your church or hosted us in your home while we travled around the US this past year. We really enjoyed our time there and all the wonderful friends we made. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers!
