Fabulous Friday!

I went for a hike with the 6 youngest of the family! Such fun friendships between all the little ones! I love how Moses is finally warming up to us again. So many changes for the youngest in Grace family that I think it took him a while to figure out where he belongs. Moses has been the youngest in the family for 3 years and when Lucy came she changed all of that!

This is a little creek/ marsh area close to our home the kids love to come to! Water always draws kids in but this one has been drying up like all other areas because of VERY little rain. Please pray the Lord  would rain down precious water!

The kids started running up and down this hill and cheering each other on! Great hill repeats as a runner would call them.

These two were being silly and chewing on sticks.

This is Emily a woman who was walking by when we were cheering each other on doing hill repeats! She stopped by and encouraged the children about their dreams for the future and to work hard in school. She is a mama of 5 children with her youngest being in grade 7. A very sweet woman sent by Jesus.

Mercy is in grade 1 at Grace family Educational Centre.

Levi is in kindergarten at home. 

Lucy will be turning 2 in 8 days!!! 

Lily is in grade 1 with Mercy some days at Grace family Educational Centre and some days at home. She enjoys mixing it up.

Moses is in Pre-K (baby class as we call it in Kenya) at Grace family Educational Centre.

Allan Kipchumba is in grade 2 at Chebulbul primary school with the rest of Grace family.

Mercy loves to get her picture taken!

Thank you Jesus for this family you have given us. I pray we would continue to serve you well, come together as a family and follow your plans for our lives.

Getting ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Prepare our hearts and minds, Lord.

Adventures!

Zion- our strong leader, our amazing baba to many. God has given him a lot to do here and we thank the Lord for the wisdom and strength every day! Please pray for Zion as sometimes all of this seems too much for one person. May the Lord send good help.

Just our fun helmet baby! She is hilarious with our motorbike helmet on!

Come with us as we head to church!

Time for children's church! The Lord is bringing His children to come hear His Word.

Ian sharing a Bible verse.

Lucy loves to play with any water anywhere!

All the children absolutely love playing after church at the playground and in the field playing soccer.

Zion caught a bird for everyone to check out! Doesn't God make these creatures in amazing ways?! I have always wanted to fly like a bird!

Oooo! Check out that bird! The bird was probably scared out of his mind!

I enjoy reading some storybooks to the children like Donna was doing with them. Books are hard to come by here so when they can hear a story and see the pictures they soak it all in! What a blessing we have had so many people send books here to share with these children!

Dixon reading his Bible. This young man loves to share what God does for him each week with the whole church.

 Sharing lunch with everyone! As you can see this whole set of pictures is from a while ago because Donna left the end of last month! I can't believe how time is flying by here. We are so thankful for God providing enough food for us to share with the community children about once a month.

 Hungry tummies being filled up!

 After a good lunch we all headed out for a field trip to the amazing waterfall not too far from our house. Most of these children have lived in the area their whole life and had never been to the waterfall! It was a sight to see and a fun adventure hike!

 Lucy just kept saying, "Wow!" She loves her water and wanted to go down and explore but it was starting to thunder sadly.

Here is the whole group of who went! Thank you Lord for your wondrous creation we got to experience!

Everyone stuck around after we got back from the waterfall for candy!

Duncan and Ian two guys that hope to go to high school next year!

We ended this full day with a sermon from Highlands Fellowship in Abingdon, VA. It was so refreshing to be encouraged by the message from America!

We thank you for keeping up with us and praying for us. We are so blessed to have you all in our lives!
