Hi friends and family. We are now officially farmers!! We planted about 10 rows of “miracle maize and beans.” We had 22 people show up to plant. It was amazing!! I am turning into a complete dork. I can’t believe how excited I was to work on a shamba (farm). I Was so excited that the workers were laughing and joking with us which made it all the more fun. 5 acres is a lot!! Mike, Butaki and I prayed over the land. I Believe God is going to do things beyond what we can imagine. It is falling in place bit by bit. We continue to have a lot of meetings. All of which have been fruitful! It is way too much to blog but please continue to pray that we are obedient to what ever God calls us to.
Mike went to see Freda today and she took good care of him. He definitely has the flu but this evening he is starting to feel better. We went to try and spring Lucy from school Friday so we can spend a long weekend with her. Mike stayed in the van. As I walked towards the office 3 dogs came charging at me growling and barking. I turned around and ran for my life!! A worker at the school ran out of the building and stopped the dogs before they reached me. My legs were jelly. I was thinking, “Great, my friends are afraid I am going to be shot are attacked with a machete while in Kenya, and I end up being killed by 3 guard dogs!”
Tonight we took the boys to Pinewood for dinner (a tradition) It was so much fun. Mike and I recently watched Glue Boys before we left for Kenya and had a reminder of just how far these boys have come . To see where those boys were and where they are at now is just amazing. You would never believe these boys once lived on the streets. They are smart, happy and so loving. We are having a great time with friends and family here in Kenya.
We love you all and appreciate your prayers and blogs.

Hi M&m: I never thought I would see my little girl wallowing around in the dirt! Glad to hear Mike & Lucy are doing better. Took Mom to Dr and he took her off the Erbatest that was causing all her problems. She will stay a Chemo treatment w/o the Erbatest until her body heals from all her rashes, gradually return to it in small doses so she will better tolerate the dosage. We are so proud of you guys for all you are doin in God's name. Love you so much, Mom & Dad
Michele, keep the blogs coming, it’s great to read about what you’re doing, laugh at your antics, and know how best to pray. I am glad Mike is feeling better (no doubt due to prayers and Sister Freda), and I hope you have a great long weekend with Lucy. Did you see the good news that Sister Freda is the cover story on gchope.org this week? Praise God for all the great work He is doing in Kenya, and blessings to you and Mike for being part of that!
