Elephant Orphanage and more...

Today Mark and I went to the Elephant Orphanage. I had been there last February with the RdR team, but it was fun to go again. The baby elephants are so cute. Here are a few pictures...







Then we drove by the Kibera slums. It is the third largest slum in the world. It so strange that they are right in the middle of Nairobi. There are really nice places, middle of the road places and then there are the slums. It was a reminder that Kenya is a third world country and still needs a lot of help.





After we ate lunch (really yummy fish and chips), I was dropped off at Vicky's house. She is a friend of Suzy's and the RdR team from last February will remember her house as the location of the couch saga. I went over there to learn how to make tortillas. Tortillas are really hard to find in Nairobi and are really expensive since they are imported. Vicky's housekeeper, Mary, knows how to make tortillas and she taught me how to make them. Even though it's time consuming, it's not too hard. They came out really good... better than the ones we would buy in the store. I can't wait to make them in Sudan! It's funny that I am from San Diego and learned how to make tortillas in Kenya.

Tomorrow will be a stay at home day I think. I'll be helping home school the kids. Please continue to pray for Sabet while he is in Juba trying to get the paperwork ready for trucking in the year's worth of supplies. There is a lot of corruption and getting through the red tape can be difficult. Also, please pray for staff issues on the compound. There is some stuff going on that is hard for Sabet and Suzy to deal with while in Nairobi. Pray that Joe and Nancy will be able step in and handle everything until we return to Sudan
