February 21st-22nd: Sunday and Monday
Sunday morning around nine I was loafing around in my boxers, thinking about cleaning up the house before Jim got back and this shining Prado comes rolling into our gates. Crab cakes and tartar sauce. I helped Jim unload the car which was laden with snack foods from far off Kenya, plus luggage and other less important stuff. Jim helped me clean the house a bit and then we headed off to church. A bunch of guys from the clinic came to see Jim and we all sat together during church.
After church Joseph, the head doctor from Takora came over for lunch along with Leah, Heather, and Jenny. The Baumgardeners made lunch and dessert. It was good to have Jim back. I was kinda freaking out.
Jb came and visited us that afternoon and Jim and him got to talk a bit. We drove over to devotions since JB is still pretty beat up. Jim talked after devotions about his trip to Kenya and some of the stuff he learned and saw. He told a great story about visiting his Maasai friends and fleeing from berserk buffalo. Jim and I spent a quite evening at home. we got to talk and pray.
Monday I did school in the morning and then helped to acid wash Jim’s walls; to remove the excess cement from the stone. Moses, Albert, Lokwii, Robert, and some friend of Lokwii’s came over to play football. We started playing as it continued to drizzle. For the first time I felt as though I was actually playing alright. The teams were pretty evenly matched and we had a lot of fun. Jim got back from his run and I helped him make dinner. He made this amazing beef with peas on rice witch tasted really good. Bobby, James, and Justin showed up and eventually Robert, Moses, and Albert came back as well. We have kinda been going through the young peacemakers on Monday nights so we discussed consequences which went pretty well.
