Who knew that we would be back in Kitale with the parts of
our hearts that we left here. We have already experienced so many things. This
past week we have ran around like crazies and loved on beautiful kids. We were
not sure what our summer was going to look like but we were completely okay
with that. A team of five girls came in to work with Mattaw so we served
alongside them this week. It was cool to work with people from different
backgrounds but with the same heart to love on the broken. We also got to be a
part of rescuing three girls and see them start to heal. We cleaned and
organized. We worked hard and played hard. The Lord does amazing things! That’s
all.
We also got to throw a birthday party for four of the kids
at Mattaw. Their smiles and gratefulness could warm anyone’s heart. The plan is
to have a birthday party every week celebrating the lives of four different kids each week. This may seem strange to most
people. Are their birthdays really all that close?No, but Kenyans do not
actually know their birthdays. Kim decided that these kids should be celebrated
so she likes to throw birthday parties. So part of our summer will consist of
making five cakes and decorating every week.

After a long week of snugglin, playing, cooking, and tons of
adventures we are a bit tired. So we have taken a true day of rest with watched
a chick flick and lying around. Now we
are rested up and ready to run full speed into what the Lord has for us!
