We went to the Open Arms Village yesterday to see the house parents and children. We have 23 children at the village now. They are doing great! I recognized many of them, but need to learn all their names. It was so much fun playing and dancing with them. We really kicked up the dust swapping dance moves. This old lady can still bust a move;)
It was great to see Kemili and Stella again! I met them last July. They are house parents for one of the children’s homes (Upendo House). I got to meet our newest house parents Daniel and Lydia. We have seven welfare officers (guards) that keep all the people and livestock safe. I met several of them as well. They are all lovely people who love the Lord and the children very much.
I leave tomorrow morning to do field research of medicinal plants in the Kakamega rain forest. I’ll be studying with the local herbalists and a guide for two weeks. I won’t have internet access while there. So this is my last blog post until I return.
