John had a meeting with "THE ASIAN" today! For those of you who don't know, "THE ASIAN" is the guy who is the head of the avacodo industry in our area. Our first order is on June 4th and he has promised us priority at that point. I'm not sure what that means exactly but it sounds really great! Definitely something to be praying for.

Onesmus, we think, has come down with malaria. He's had it before so this doesn't mean that it's in our region, it means that it could be returning from his past...or it could be in our region. He's not too bad now. We took him to the hospital immediately after we suspected that it was malaria. The doctors won't confirm but they gave him meds for malaria. Please pray for his health.

Cynthia, whose mom died last week, never showed up from school yesterday. Mercy, her classmate came home alone. I asked her where Cynthia was and immediately after she told me that she went to Ndunyu Chege with two other girls, I took off running. I ran for about 2 miles toward the nearest matatu stop on the most likely path to be taken. When I didn't find them, I ran toward Ndunyu Chege in order to try and cut them off before they reached the "tarmack road". It was to no avail. She was gone.

That night we all prayed that Cynthia would be found. We alerted the Assistant Cheif and a few others and asked them to pray. Thankfully the Lord answered our prayers quickly and Cynthia's aunt called and said she was with her. This was better news than nothing but Cynthia's aunt is... not the best person for Cynthia to be with. We don't have legal custody over Cynthia; meaning that we can not legally retrieve her. It is up to her aunt to bring her back. I believe that she will have a much better life at AMCC than with her extended family so please pray that the Lord would carry out His plan in Cynthia's life.

So if you're wonerding why there aren't any relevant pictures...somebody forgot to bring my camera battery back with him from the cyber cafe. (I love you Mark and there's still no better person to be here with than you ;)

Here are a few more things I wanted to take pictures of, but my battery was dead. Sometimes the imagination is better anyway:

• Mark and I doing the Electric Slide in church with the other young Kenyan mothers last Sunday (this one really caught us off guard)
• Singing "It is Well With My Soul" in acapello with Mark in church in front of a bunch of people who don't understand English
• John Mutugo, the awesome preacher kid, fighting an invisible man using karate, unbeknownst to him that I was watching
• Faith, the oldest child pointing to body parts like her tongue and arm while Paulo, the youngest child, stated them in English.
• The children in pure ectasy to be blowing and trying to catch bubbles
  

Mungu akubariki! (God bless you!)
