Green Acres here we come!

Another productive day in Kitale. This trip has been filled mostly with administrative meetings. Butaki’s vision makes me nervous. He can see things much further down the road then I can. Today we planted some avocado trees, orange tree, macadamia nut tree and grapefruit tree on our property. We are turning into quite the little farmers. “Green Acres here we come!!” I am literally a “red neck” as it is sunburned. I am even looking at egg shells, table scraps and corn stalks differently. I see them as a means to make compost (fertilizer) instead of trash or items to be burned. What in the world is happening to me?? ICM is going to start saving all of these things for us so we can make compost from them. They have a large kitchen where they cook meals for all the pastors at the school so there should be plenty available. What is one man’s trash is another man’s treasure!
The rainy season has begun! Our land is planted and God has now sent the rain to begin the growing process.
Please pray for Mike as we think he might have strep throat. This is the exact same thing that happened when he was here in February. We gave him a stronger antibiotic and he is taking Pretesone (a steroid) Freda is making a house call tomorrow morning. God bless Freda. What would we do without her?
Tomorrow we are going to travel with Steve Rutenbar, Don Thompson and Freda to various refugee camps. We will pick Lucy up in the morning from school and have her until Monday!!! That is all for now. We love you all.
