Down time = a Thing of Beauty!

Hello All,
We have had a week of doctors visits it seems - Trevor went, Sallie went and I went.  Glad we are all healthy (sort of).  Trevor has to have all 4 wisdom teeth pulled.  Please pray for him on Wed and the following recovery days!

We presented at church last week and all went pretty well.  They were amazing in their response to a call to help us with education for some Kenyan friends.  We raised over $1100!  Can't wait to sort it out and tell these very deserving people that they can go to school!  That is the fun part for me.

We are getting some down time this week.  Not much going on which is a welcome thing.  The weather has been nice - in the mid 70's and a little bit of rain to help cool things down.  I am starting to gather information about traveling to visit schools the week of the 12th.  Am having sticker shock with hotel prices!  We only need 3 days, but that will eat up a good chunk of the budget! 


We got some great news from Kijabe.  The road that was washed out from the mud slides is back open!  That was record time in our opinion.  It was the end of May when the slides hit and the bridge was reopened this week - Praise God!  Materials can now come that way for all the projects.

its a beautiful thing!

We got to visit our dog Doodle last Sunday.  We are so continually amazed at the generosity of people.  Thank you Del and Theresa for taking her in (and for the Maple goodness).  It was so great to see her.  She tried to get in the car with us saying, "OK you're here.  Time to go home!"  But next year we will be able to let her in the door and head home.




Sallie and I were watching out the window this morning and saw a beautiful cardinal.  Love it that the birds here are unique!



We put the boys to work one day learning how to wash and wax a car properly.  That is a skill that everyone should know.  The car looked spotless, but I can't say the same for the boys!


Next week end is the Taubitz family reunion.  Glad we will get a chance to see everyone.  I can see a campfire and some smores in my future.

Please pray for continued renewal (it is in the process) and our presentation at Ainsworth Baptist Church tomorrow.  We are excited to get to tell them about all the goings on in Kijabe.

In His Hands,

Jullie T
