“There are many plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless the Lord’s counsel that will

stand. Prov. 19:21

Robberies Continue

We were walking on the road by our flats and our neighbor was upset because someone had climbed up to the third story and stolen her family’s shoes from the balcony. Then we were told that someone had the battery stolen from their car. The dentist who lives across from us had all of his electronics stolen. Our manager wanted to see about hiring a security guard, but is unable to talk to the owner because his wife just passed away. One of the neighbors recommended we all get together and hire a security guard. Pray that all the neighbors can get together at one time so we can make a decision on security.

Visit to Dr. Chunge

On Wednesday I went to Nairobi to see Dr. Chunge about my health issues. He found the problem right away. He said the problem was in the small intestine and sent me for an ultrasound and lab work. The ultrasound showed that my small intestine was inflamed. He said the cause was a bacteria that I had picked up through something I had eaten. He put me on two antibiotics and I am doing better. I am able to eat now without getting sick. The doctor and his wife (she did the lab work) were very kind and helpful. Many blessings to the doctor and his wife and to everyone who prayed, thank you Jesus!

Giving away Bibles

Tom is excited to be able to share some of the Bibles that have been donated. Our tuk tuk driver said he needed a Bible in English and was very excited when Tom gave him a Bible. Tom has given away four Bibles so far and everyone who has received one has treated it as a most cherished gift. It is humbling to come before the Lord with a heart of thanksgiving for blessing us with access to His Word. Tom and I are filled with joy for the honor and privilege of sharing His Word with others.

May God fill you joy as He reveals His plans for you this week.
