Hmmm. 13% interest on a car loan? Almost too good to pass up.
Always a joy to share office space with my co-worker. Later today I'll color and he'll do my emails...
Another bitter butter shortage - particularly hard on my wife when she needs to bake!
Me: "Josiah, that's a wonderful job making the beds." Josiah: "I'm making rocket ships, not beds." Me: "Um. Okay."
I'm in Madagascar. Missed the end of bath time at home when Isaiah (age 3) said, "Bye Bye water, have fun at your house, see you tomorrow!"
Krista and I were talking about the Prophet Elijah when OUR Elijah (age 5) pipes up, "I'm going to be a Prophet Elijah when I grow up!"
Returning from Uganda, just a few miles from home, had to slow down to avoid the hyena chasing prey on the highway.
It's great to be back to one of the places we think of as home - UGANDA!
Me: "I'm sorry you had an accident, buddy." Isaiah: "I forgive you, Papa." Me "… um... Thanks."
Nairobi is ahead of the curve in terms of modern conveniences. The latest: a drive-through Christmas tree lot!
It would seem that today must be someone's birthday! Mama was up late making sure these decorations would be ready!
While I am excited that Nairobi now has a Burger King - blocks away from our house - I don't recognize that burger...
It's birthday season! Krista is starting Josiah's cake decorations. Gum paste train...

Once again, the amazing Krista has found something awesome for our home and managed to get it from the States to Kenya in our luggage!
Christ’s Care for Children: Kenya is a child sponsorship program, initiated by the LCMS Office of International Mission. It is directly linked to the Project 24 sites in Kenya. It is through care and compassion for these children that they receive safe housing, food, education and spiritual care. Each site is strategically located near an Evangelical Lutheran Church of Kenya church and school so that the children can receive academic as well as spiritual teaching and care.
Currently the four operational sites have 140 children who are in need of sponsorship. The number is expected to increase in 2017. This is purely a child sponsorship program. Each child will have his or her own digital packet that will contain a one-page description of the project/site where the child comes from, information about the child along with his/her picture and then any continuous updates. The child’s digital packet will be sent to the donor when the match is confirmed as well as in the months of January and May of every year. The child’s reports, which will include their welfare, spiritual engagement, school grades and performance, will be made available quarterly.
The program welcomes donors to visit their sponsor child and the place where they stay in the months of February, June or October of every year.

My boys are astounded at us going through the drive-through at Culvers. They keep saying, "This is so cool!" #MissionaryKids
