This has been our first opportunity to blog since last time. We did not have access to a computer. We headed up to Mt. Elgon on Easter morning but due to the heavy rains, we did not make it to the church we intended. Even with a 4x4 the mudd on the mountain is so slick and thick that heavy rains prevent you from going to far. We were disappointed as we were looking forward to seeing our frineds again and they began preparing for our visit the day before. We did however attend a church lower on the mountain. It was actually really great. There was a woman who gave her testimony. She had been dispaced from her home higer up on the mountain. She had lost everything and yet here she was in a small church made of mudd and dung in the pouring rain, giving God thanks. These people never cease to amaze me. I learn so much from them.
We are now at the Nairobi airport getting ready to leave. This has been a strange trip in that we did mostly administrative work and less ministry. It was extremely productive but I missed spending time with my friends on the mountian. It was hard to say good-bye to lucy. She did her usual shut down mode the day we left. We had a real good time with her however.
Our plane should be boarding so we will see you all on the other side of the pond!

Mike and Michele, glad you had a productive trip, even if different than you had expected. I can't wait to hear more about it when you get home!
Blessings,
Tasha
Hi Everyone,
I glad that you are all safe and helping the people of Kenya. When we read you blog, it made us cry. I wish we could help more.
Yesterday, Marvin and I worked at God's Kitchen, serving meals to the homeless and those who could not afford to buy food. When we were done, I had tears in my eyes and wish we could do more to help. It is especially hard seeing mothers bring in their small children, knowing that God's Kitchen is the only place that they could get a meal. We plan on volunteering next month as well.
I am glad dad is having a good time. Last week at church everyone was asking about him, wanting to know if he made it safely. I will let everyone know on Sunday that we have heard from you.
I am so happy that Lucy has such loving parents in both of you. I know that dad is proud to finally have a granddaughter.
Please be blessed and give dad, Lucy and Sister Freda a big hug from us.
Love you all,
Denise & Marvin
