We have had a good week, but can't believe it is Saturday again. The time here just flies by (as it does everywhere)!
I have spent most of the week going over the material and procurement problems. They have a new procedure that I have been reviewing and wanting to change (with a capital "C"). All my time spent with Westinghouse and at the shipyard writing and reviewing procedures, has made me annal about it. I want to make a flow chart of the process but not sure if they will appreciate (or use) that. Something happened just yesterday that sent Jim (once again) into full Navy Commander "How can you let this happen" mode! There was an order of materials that is very important and we still have not given the company the money to be able to make them. We discovered this problem almost 3 weeks ago! Pole-Pole is the saying here (slowly-slowly)!
We went up to South Kinangop last week to visit the orphanage called Into Abbas Arms. We are helping with their kitchen project. Good news: We have permission to keep going! We were directed to stop once the building is "high and dry." We are about at that point and the organization seems to now have the money to be able to carry on and finish the project - Praise God for generous donators!
Here are some pictures:

Today is the big day for the Bethany Kids Wing project. The board is meeting in the states today to decide the fate of it. Please pray that they will be in God's will about the whole thing (and that God's will is to proceed with the project so that many more kids in this part of Africa can be served)! That may be a bit prejudiced, but you can understand why, I am sure.
The weather here has been wonderful lately. The rains seem to have stopped and it has been truely summer. I took some pictures of the garden around my house and the house itself. Have you ever seen poinsettia trees? There are 3-4 around here and they are huge. I never knew that if you didn't have a wintertime to stop them, they would just keep going!
Here are a few of the inside of the house:
Mom, I know how you like pictures, so these were for you!
We have to get going up to Titchie Field Day. They have 2 hours of games set up with lots of water involved up at the school. Tomorrow, we are heading to another water park with a crew of boys to celebrate Timothy's Birthday. He will be 11 on Monday. That is hard to believe! Jim and I are going to try and stay dry though.
Love you all so much! Thank you for all you do!
In His Hands,
Jullie T.
