Jambo! Here in Kenya, things are going well. The weather is a little strange, though. We’re supposed to be in the rainy season, but we haven’t seen a drop of rain in several weeks. I know many of the farmers are getting nervous, as their maize is in the ground and desperately needs water. We’d…

Jambo! How is the weather where you are? I know – I always seem to start with the weather! But here in Kenya, it has become so much less predictable than it used to be. The timing of the rains, when they start and stop, and how long they last – it all seems to…

Jambo everyone! It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me! As usual, things have been very, very busy around our place! Before I jump into everything happening now, I don’t want to forget to tell you about Christmas. We had a wonderful celebration, as we always do – and this year was extra special. Not only…

Jambo Everybody! I hope you are all well, wherever you are and whatever you’re doing! We are healthy and happy here in Kenya, trying to take one day at a time with whatever God has put before us to do that day. Honestly, some days I feel like my life is just one “thing” (challenge…

Jambo Everybody! Here I am again, with a million things swirling through my head, trying to narrow it down to what’s most important to share with you guys! If I were to share everything that has happened since my last letter, this update would be more like a book! This year’s rainy season has not…

Jambo Everyone! As always, I’ll start out talking about the weather. It has been raining most days, which is great for the farms, gardens, and MY favorite: flowers! A few months ago, I promised that in an upcoming letter, I would complain about the mud! LOL! Well, honestly, it hasn’t been that bad! My biggest…

Jambo everyone! I hope you are all doing well as you wind down your summer activities and, for those of you with school-aged children, start a new school year! In Kenya, our kids have been enjoying a three-week break and are now heading into their final term of the 2024 school year! While home, the older…

Jambo everyone! Happy Independence Day to our American friends! I hope it was a good one for all of you! Here, obviously, it was just another Thursday, but I did spend some time thinking about family, barbeque, and fireworks… and the fact that, despite her downfalls, there is no place like home! Maybe I’m just feeling a bit nostalgic,…

Jambo everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve been able to sit down and update you guys! It’s crazy how time flies and life’s busyness takes over! Today, I decided to try to beat the system! Before going to bed last night, I brought my laptop and tea kettle into my room so that I could hide out…

Jambo everyone! I hope you are all doing well and 2024 has gotten off to a great start! I can hardly believe that I’ve only been back in Kenya for two months… a lot has happened in a short amount of time! To say we’ve been busy is putting it mildly! In January, we were once again…
