Back to Life

Well, our summer has flown by and we are now just 2 weeks away from our teacher inservice week! We had a wonderful summer visiting loved ones back in the states. It was a blessing to be able to got back for part of the summer.

We have been back in Nairobi for almost a week now and have already moved into our new place on Rosslyn's campus. We had a great group of friends helping and the moving went swiftly. Now, due to many early mornings (got to love jet lag!) we pretty much have everything where we want it. We are looking forward to be closer to the school and closer to our friends. It already feels very much like home! We have a few more things to do and then I will take pictures and post them. :)

Prayer requests:
Tricia's brother and sister-in -law will be in Kenya for the next 5 weeks which is an awesome blessing! This week they are vacationing on the coast and then will be back to work with the Made In The Streets ministry. Next week we will be joining them to do a vbs type camp for 15-20 street kids. Please pray as we do our best to minister to and love on them.

School starting: Ed and I both feel rested from the summer and ready to attack another school year. Please pray that as we get started we continue to be positive and encouraging. Everyday in school is an opportunity to share the love of Christ with our students. We pray we are able to do that to the best of our ability.

Ed's family: Ed's mother had surgery for her cancer at the beginning of June and is still recovering. Please keep her in your prayers that her recovery will go well and that the doctors will have wisdom in deciding the next step of treatment. Also, please keep the rest of the family in your prayers as we trust God with our wonderful mother.

Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers. They are felt more than we could ever describe. More blogs will follow soon! (Another perk to the new place, we have faster internet!! YAY!!!)

Love,
Ed & Tricia
