We weren't eaten by lions, I promise

It's been almost a month since the classrooms were emptied... we've been winding down from a whirlwind first term at Rift Valley Academy.

We've been busy learning to eat,
learning to hunt,

  and trying to stay dry in the very abnormal, very wet weather of Kijabe these last few months,
which, if you are Joel, has its advantage of a yummy termite crop!
 So we took off in search of some warmer adventures... which sometimes were more than we bargained for.  Yes, we crossed this in our car.  It's not lions that might keep us from blogging, but it's the raging rivers we should be afraid of.
Oh yes, and Grandma and Grandpa came and we were able to show them our home and the beautiful country we live in.
 We've prepared our home and our hearts for remembering the birth of our Savior,
 and also celebrated with our neighbors around us.  

Our hearts and minds are full of so many wonderful things.  We've had a lot to think about this term, and frankly, since we've come to Kenya.  Where does the Lord want us to be?  More importantly, what is he asking us to be doing with our lives?  We pray that we can grow to honor him in what we do, more and more each day and in the coming year.
