A Few Steps Closer

I'm so sorry that I have delayed in adding a new post...We have been at a stand still with no new BIG news!

Until NOW!

Our Homestudy was finally completed and returned to us with a clean background check and fingerprinting! I overnighted the paperwork to our Kenyan connection so that the Kenyan lawyer could begin to proceed once again on our behalf! Waiting is always SOOOO difficult! During this waiting period we sent Benjamin another package from his American family. It was so fun gathering books, puzzles, trains, cars and a photo album containing pics of all of his family! Apparently,  Benjamin has become quite popular in the village with all of his new toys. However, I'm told that he doesn't like to share them! We will definitely need to work on that!

Last weekend we completed a large fundraising push to begin digging a well at the church and preschool. Enough funds were raised to get the process started. This week they have been able to dig  up to 23 feet and have successfully reached water!!! They will dig a little deeper and then begin securing the well and purchase a pump! This is such an amazing "team" accomplishment and so exciting to know that many people will no longer walk several miles a day to obtain a basic necessity.

We feel so incredibly blessed and thankful for this journey and ask that you continue to partner with us in prayer for favor in Kenya!
