The picture in my avatar is actually our church in Bukempe - two little boys were peeking out at the funny-looking "wazungu" (white people). The children are SO cute!
Hmmm.....no, I don't even know where that is! Do you know what part of Kenya it's in?
I was a kid when we went. All I remember is that there were a lot of neat safari type things to do and see. (I may even be off on the exact name though).

I googled it and came up empty. Maybe the name has even changed since then.
We're not taking the time to do a big safari this year, since Eddie can't be gone really long in the middle of a buidling project. So we are just doing a one day game drive in Nakuru Park on the way back east toward Nairobi from the pastor's conference on the west side. The two staff pastors going with us have never been, so I at least want them to experience a small safari. Also, there are about 2 million pink flamingos on Nakuru Lake, which is just an amazing sight to behold!

That sounds interesting. It's good to hear that you all are in a building project as well. I strongly recommend that when possible, people do travel to these sorts of places. I went as a child and it is one of the experiences I will always take with me. I've been very much a fan of nature ever since that trip.
We got to see animals in their habitation, eat some exotic meals, etc...

Well, we just signed the papers, which was a huge decision in this present economy, but we felt the "go ahead" from the Lord. So far, we have been able to pay cash for all the site work, and the new parking. It would be great if we could pay cash for the whole thing, but just in case...........the bank has approved our loan! We will start with digging footings (?) and pouring the slab within the next few months.

That is great. I will be praying. We are in the process as well. We have a company in and running our capital campaign. We do know that it is a big step now, especially with the economy, but we have to make a move. It is a particularly big move since we are currently completely debt free. We won't allow ourselves to go too far into debt though.
It's exciting and I hope to be able to visit you all sometime.

We have 37 churches in Kenya & Uganda that are "Love and Truth" Churches. We go to train pastors and their wives. Usually we have about 200 pastors from western Kenya/eastern Uganda that attend the conferences. Then we usually do the Sunday service at our Bishop's church in Bukempe.
WOW..that is so great, think what you could have accomplished if you two wouldn't have left the mothership.
You know I'
m joking , right?
