Someone once told me...

One time while I was here someone once told me when life gives you a lemon tree you must make lemons... LOL that was funny... But besides that our camping trip went very well because we made lemonade from our lemons...
While we were out camping we got caught in a huge lightning storm with tons of rain... Thankfully it only lasted a little while. After waking up quite damp and with little to no sleep we packed up camp and moved out towards the town to have breakfast. After Breakfast we went on a 6 hour hike through the Lukenya hills and had a great time. Then after our hike we returned to the boys home Taraja and pitched our tent under a shed so as not to be rained on again... of course id did not rain that night. But before going to sleep we hung out and did devotional time with the Kids... It was the most amazing display of faith and worship I have ever seen offered to God in all my time of being at many different church functions. about 25 kids all who have Nothing absolutly dependant on the ministry that this boys home Taraja provides. They all gathered into a dully lit shed to worship God together. One of the boys in the back of the shed playing the drums on a 55 gallon drum with a stick and his hand, and everyone singing praise in Swahili and clapping to the beat of an amazing worship to the God who provides for them every day. Sometimes I wish we would be more like this in America... You would think that with all we have our nice comfy well lit churches with sound systems and electric guitars and keyboards, and our wealthy congragations that we would all come eager to prais the lord who has blessed our lives so richly... but instead we come with a list of grievances of the things the lord has not provided we think we need. Anyway moving on
I had beans and Chapati (bread like stuff) for five strait meals in a row, Also while there we started planning and cutting our Bike trial. We cut over 1400 feet of trail by hand through African Fields. That was so much work and the sun is so hot here it is rediculous. Thankfully none of us passed out lol. but regardless we got a lot of work done and have stared a good portion of the planning neccessary for the trails and more importantly we have begun to familiarize ourselves with the land. Mind you during this whole 3 day trip I didn't have a chance to shower or drink too much... Needless to say I was Glad to return to Nairobi and have fillet o' fish with chips and 1200 ml of Krest. While Victor put down an impressive 1500 ml of Stoney... We are collecting Bottle caps to make a checkers set at home... LOL
Well that was a our last few days hope all is well with you all. God Bless
