Hello people,
Here again on internet, not sure when the next time we will be on again.
So will tell all now.
We now have flights from Nairobi to Lusaka, both vinjelu and I will be flying togther.
PRAY REQUEST: Our travel agent told us our flights were changable back to Cananda, and have just foud out for a hefty amout of USD that they are not changable and we need to upgrade for an aditional cost of $900.00 USD each. This is impossible for us of course, BUT IO kathryn need to be back in Canada for my 28th week. So please pray our travel agent makes it right and that we will have the money to cover such things.
Athi River: weare now 45 miutes out of Nairobi in a very rural, BUSH BUSH area. Actaully the base has geraffs out in the field, although you need to go a bit far inot the fild to see them. we havet done that yet. And One of the guys thinks he saw a Hyena pass byu yesterday.
Basically we are training the staff on the base in bsics of Community Development, they have said they really have no clue and are at the end of the roap for dealing with the community aroudn them. The base it self has a MAJOUR water problem, it's actually not easily fixed with appropriate techology we come with... so will be praying and thinking through this probmlem, hoping we can help in this eara before we leave. vinj and I will be teaching on Community Assesment and ministering to the community in all areas ie: physical, Spiritual, Intelectualy, and Social. We will be taching on some other things but are pretty clear on that.
We will be here untill July 5th, on that day we are leaving for Uganda, and will be there for three weeks.
Baby and Kathryn: Kathryn is doing a bit better, not so sick now that she has rested, and this leg of the trip is alot easier as we are just staying on the base and teaching on the base.
Later,
Vinj and Kath

Another day
Well I changed our blod lay out for those of you that found it hard to read with a dark backgroud! Hope it helps now!
Kathryn and Baby
I am doing pretty good, have been feeling sick most of the day and dont have my appetite as of yet. I think this is due to being very tired in the last four days.
No really growing of the belly at all since last week.
We may be moving to a hotel next door, because I have been struggling with all the smokers arund, really gives me a constant head ache and stomoch upset. Will cost another 30 extra dollars a night, but think it may be worth it for the last two days of rest. So if ur interested in donating to that cause let us know.
I have been struggling a little bit with my weakness now. I am not exatly able to ruff it very well anymore, like the smoking and ruff living conditions. It's a little hard to handle everything. So if you can pease pray for me, I really need Jesus every moment today and tomarrow. he brings me through each day.
What we're doing today
Two fo our team mates arrived yesdtaerday, so we may take them into town to get what ever they need. and mostly pray and sleep as needed. and possibly move to the hotel next door. We will try and post some pictures today, or tomarrow for you i don't know. BUt please keep reading, we need your prayers and support in this time.
Vinjelu
Vinjelu is doing quite wekll, mostly looking out for me. He has rested as much as I have! Lots of sleep. I think havign a pregnant wife is probably one fo the most exausting things, all the worry and swervign he does it's amazing and he is a gift from God to me.
He has been reading in Miccha in the bible, God has been speaking to him alot through that whole book. About poverty and why poeple are in it. He's seeking God in everything, he's a really good man!
Thanx for keeping up, love you all

Second day in Nairobi
Hey guys,
well today we woke up aroudn 6am, had some breakfast, and fell back asleep at 9am right up untill 5:30pm!!!!!!! We were obveously VERY tired!
We got up and called a taxi and went to a mall, had some supper, and ice cream then went to Oceans 13 at the cinima, was SO cool, we love it. Also got toiletries because we had to leave then because of overweith luggage.
Got a mosquito net too. Kinda pricey actually, but is very important so we got it.
ON the way back form the mall we saw two guys shot down on the side walk, the police were there, it was crazy, laying there were to guys just shot dead... ya I kathryn have never seen that, vinj has a few times by now. The taxi driver said is was probably two thugs the police caught, so thats probably good:)
Tomarrow tow of our tem mates arrive in the evening, not sure what we're going to do tomarrow and hoping we will be feeling more refreshed. Bellieve it or not I am actually tird again, and need to go to bed now. Will try and find internet tomarrow where we can upload photos!
Untill next time
