My Journal

I know I have been slack on my journal this summer. Sorry, George! But I am back in Kenya and FINALLY HOME in Turkana. I drove the 16 hours from Nairobi today and feel like I have been beaten with a stick.<br /><br />The last 300 kms took me 11 1/2 hours to drive! A good part of that was in low 4-wheel. What road we had is all but gone now.<br /><br />I got home and found a surprise. I replaced 15 dead trees last year and my guards have the job of making sure they are watered. While I was in the States, they planted a huge crop of watermelons in with the trees. My front yard is covered in vines and looks like there are atleast 6 or 7 melons that are ready to eat! <br /><br />I is not yet 9pm...but I started today at 3:30am and I am ready to call it quits for the night. <br /><br />Good night to all of you and much love from me here in Turkana!<br />Ekiru

Brother, glad you made it home safely and like George, I hope you enjoy the water melon, should be very refreshing in the Turkana. We will be praying for you in the States.
