Living in a more remote part of Maasailand brings amazing experiences as well as causing us to wonder, can we really do this. Those of you praying for us, it is making a differenct.
This year we are seeing some green, it has rained a little awhile ago. We have never seen this before. Now they are anxious for more rain. Lucy, our host is having to bring water down to here place since her tank if about empty.
We are living in a metal house with dirt floors. No window in the bedroom, just a bed and our bag piled up everywhere. WE NEED TO BRING LESS.
Jon is at a male circumscion celebration today over at the next boma. He got to see the cow being slaughtered. He's hiked to the top of the Ngong Hills with Wilson the herbist and loving it. The next day they hiked to the Spring, he's gaining lots of knowledge.
I've been out to even more remote areas to visit with women who have taken the class and have already started their businesses. These are very determined women and working with extreme conditions. FLIES ARE EVERYWHERE. We are staying healthy.
We had our MWEEP meeting yesterday, that was a wonderful experience as well as exhausting.
Today we are in Ngong shopping for the food for the celebration, they are expecting about 100 people.

Hi Loanna -- I've tried a couple of times to leave a comment. It was wonderful to read your update on being in Kenya. We are eager to hear about the graduation and the stories you and Jon have collected from your visits with the MWEEP women. Thank you for ALL that you do there and know that you and Jon are so appreciated for your compassion, wisdom and fearless energy! I'm sure you are nearing the time when you are eager to be with your children and grandchildren. We have snow here! Continue to travel safely and have a wonderful holiday. Liz Drew, MWEEP USA
Thanks Liz, I got your comment. We do have a lot to share and I'll try to get blogs posted. Somehow the password doesn't work but I think I can get that solved.
