Hello Prayer Warriors,
Today was our last day of clinic and we spent it at Muthega, a little slum village. In fact it was probably our favoite village here in Nairobi. In the afternoon, we traveled to the boys and girls home that the Makukus started 4 years ago for orphans. I believe they have about 20 children in the age bracket of 7 yrs to 18 yrs. Two women that we worked with here, Carolyn and Purity are the house mothers.
Since it was Ariel's 21st birthday, we decided to have a birthday party for her. We had lunch and then Martha, Imboumi's wife carried the birthday cake out with the candles lit. The children's eyes were as big as saucers. I don't think they have ever had a birthday cake. We showered them with love and attention. We brought gifts and sang with them as Hazen played the guitar. The highlight was most definitely the soccor (football ) game. Our entire team and Imboumi and all the children played. We had so much fun! The children were so precious. They have so little and are so appreciative. Ariel (and us too) has a great memory for her 21st birthday.
Tonight we did the repacking thing. It is quite a chore for a medical team as we see who has room in their bag to carry medications and supplies back home in their bags. I just finished and sure am glad that it is all done. Tomorrow morning we will travel to Masa Mara on a safari. Please pray that it does not rain. Imboumi said the ride is a "bone breaker". It will be exciting to see another part of God's creation.
We will miss our friends here in Nairobi but will continue to pray for them and their ministry. It has been a trip of growth for each of us. We will never be the same person. God has certainly stretched us all.
This will be the last communication for this trip as we will fly out Monday evening to return home Tuesday. Please continue to pray for our health and safety.
Please know that we are praying for you.
We love you all and miss you!
Many Blessings,
Karen (McClure) and the Kenya Team
PS Third reminder--Families of our Missionaries please remind them when they return home to continue to take their Doxycycline daily for 30 days. Some have asked me to put it in an e-mail so they do not forget.
