Tomorrow promises to be an adventure full of laughter and children, a Fun Day or so we have named it.  Between 300 and 700 children will be arriving at the base around 8:30 am and staying until 4:30pm, a long day.  How we will take care of such a large number of children with such a small number of adults baffles me, but I guess we will solve that mystery when it comes.  Sunday, inevitably there will be preachers found amongst our group and I will find myself longing for a church where I am not constantly watched or expected to talk.  It will be good though. 

 

On tuesday, we are beginning a much needed vacation.  First we are off to Safari, then to Nairobi, and lastly to see the Indian Ocean on a Mombasa shore.  What a wonderful reprieve, not quite a week long and a lot of traveling but definately worth it.  15 hour night bus for our ride back.  I am really excited and this will be our first (only but amazing) vacation; its about time.  One of our hosts, Jared, will be traveling and enjoying all of the excitement with us and we are thrilled about that.

Today we finish Acts.  Good book, you should read it.  Eutychus is my favorite (Acts 20 starts in verse 7); he falls asleep because Paul is talking forever and falls out a window and dies.  Paul realizes this, tells everyone not to be alarmed, raises him from the dead, and then carries on eating.  What the heck? Awesome.
