This video runs for 3:23 and shows some of the kids sponsored in the Adopt a Legacy program, also some footage taken at the nearby Legacy Schools on closing day last week as well as the plot of land where the Kibomet Orphan Home is going to be constructed beginning this month. Internal furnishings are still needed for the Kibomet home and can be gifted at this LINK.
Amanda (a single, 20-something from Fort Worth, TX, here to work with orphans in Kitale with another ministry) popped in today to cut wildflowers and cultivated flowers in our backyard. I have a lot of flowers. The Need? Well, um: the wedding for 2 short-termers here in Kenya who also came to work w/orphans - being held TODAY. They came here for 3 months. They came from somewhere near New York and had been friends for a long time and when they got here, well . . . love was in the air. So a few days ago, he asked her to marry him. And she said, “Yes.” And he said, “When?” And she said, “How about now since my parents are going back to New York on Sunday?” And he said, “Sure.” So they decided to hold the wedding in the backyard of the “commune-style” house where they are all (12 of them --- around 8 singles (including Amanda), 2 adults and now the newly married couple) living together. I thought the whole thing was kinda cute & fun:). We were invited to pop in on the wedding but I didn’t go. Not with the spur-of-the-moment-thing. I had already made my Friday-afternoon-party-because-the-week-is-over-YAY plans. WHICH were: spending the afternoon enjoying myself in the company of my lovely girlfriend ShyRose. We walked. Talked. Ate. And all that. Brian heads out to the bush (East Pokot) for a seminar that he’s teaching this weekend. He’ll be back in a few.
