A Life Well Lived

This week I lost my aunt.

It was one of the hardest things to believe.  But I took time to believe that she has died.  I thought in my heart  that she was  'immortal'.

 

Her love for us was huge.  She attended  every function which I could remember. 

She was so hardworking on her farm, that people admired her a lot.

She was also a strong Christian who learned to read and write at an advanced age.  All she wanted to do was read her Bible.

Rest in Peace.

Christmas in the Village 2008 - Kericho, Kenya, East Africa

hello,

i hope u had a wonderful Christmas. most people spent their Christmas with family; others in the church, still others visiting new places, etc.

here in Kenya, most people spent their time with family, and the next thing when you spend your time like that, what comes to mind often is the food that is most needed as families converge. it is always a challenge for village folks to afford this and we had to chip in and help a few families deal with this need.

we bought each family sugar, rice, wheat flour, oil , salt, etc. this was a complete Christmas party for a family of ten kids. i was so excited to see them happy and enjoying the fellowship and the food together. in most of these pictures in the slideshow, u will see the packaging [of the food] going on. we had to buy everything in bulk so that the prices could come down. we had a great Christmas and i look forward to 'jumping' into the next year on january 1st, 2009.



let's keep praying for ISRAEL to stop this war on terror. i just wish there was a way they get the hamas militants without injuring the kids and the innocent.

God Bless
Jonah
