Just finished two days at Eldoret. I am doing well, just very tired
after two days of teaching the teachers from Jamii school in the afternoons. In the
morning we were with the students at Jamii teaching them about the
armor of God and doing crafts and helping them learn a song that goes with the armor of God. They are full days with not much down time.

I am really enjoying having Judy and Ann with me be on the education team. Ann is helping present sessions on classroom management and children in crisis, while I have been presenting math sessions on problem solving and place value. Tomorrow we move on to geometry. Judy has been our IT guru, setting up the projector and running our power points. Both Judy and Ann have been great helping set up and keep track of all our supplies. I don't know how I did it without them last year!
Today the medical clinic set up at Jamii began to see the families from around the slum. They worked until after 6! They will begin at 9 tomorrow and will expect the same crush of people to attend to. They are an amazing team of dedicated people.
We are hearing that the airport is slowly retuning to normal and
things should be good for Hans to return to Nairobi on Friday. Here is a link about what transpired at the airport if you didn't catch this on our local news:
Despite the swirl of airport issues, the team is doing well and we are
feeling well cared for. It really is a miracle that we ever
landed at all in Nairobi that first night. Miriam's sister was
waiting there for us watching flight after flight being cancelled or
diverted to other countries. She even saw our flight disappear from
the monitor. She was fervently praying and a little bit later it
returned on the monitor. We were one of the only flights that night
that was allowed to land.
