Today was a good day. We slept in a bit after we all had a rough night. We prayed for God to open doors and set off for Koytumo. We played with the kids. Obi (Joe's famous brother who is a newscaster in Kenya) interviewed Karen and Timothy about little Esther (the whole situation with her). We worked on more child sponsorships, too. Then we drove around Kitale and literally called children to us to evangelize. We have learned a lot of Swahili, so it was fun talking to the kids a bit.
We had a couple groups of kids. We played games with them, shared the Gospel message (by using the colors), and then put Gospel bracelets on them and let them play with a Gospel soccer ball (a ball with the Gospel colors all over it). They LOVE soccer here. Then we gave them white bread (a true treat).
It was really cool, and we would have missed this if we had gone to Turkwel.
Tomorrow is the day we are leaving Esther in Koytumo with Andrew and Sarah. I can't even imagine how that is going to look or feel. Lord, please give us peace and protect Esther.
I'm still trying to reflect and think about what life is going to be like back home. I don't want to come home unchanged - unaffected.
Lord, please change my heart to be better for You. I want to be most thankful, more selfless, less material, and more ...something else that God has yet to reveal.
Lord, open my eyes to my blessings. Open my mouth to praise You more. Open my ears to hear you more.
