Good News(old story forgot to post)

5months without a job seems like a long time, but we have kept so busy in the ministry that time has passed by sooo fast! Not everyone has a 5 month long honeymoon together without having to work!!! So we enjoyed it while it lasted
We had our 2 day assembly this past weekend. As I wrote to some of you already it was AMAZING!

The program was really nice. It was my first actual assembly here. It was also nice to see the work we had done on the building during construction. They have a new project coming up in june. They will be putting up new toilets in the womans section.
Have i mentioned to you before that when they first installed the restrooms that some people would steal the seat covers?!!!!!!!!! THATS SOOO GROSS!! They dont comprehend germs and bacteria they cant see!

Anyways, So i have been busy doing hair. I have met a lady who is a makeup artist here in kenya. She is considered one of the best. She has a great resume and she has created her own makeup brand that will be launched in Aug. She has been really kind and referred me to her clients. She does all the mag covers and makeup for those in the beauty section for various african mag’s. So she has already booked me in to help her do some shoots in june! Im so excited. She said she will probably train me to do makeup which im super happy to learn!

I will keep you posted on how that goes 

Speaking of learning, the district overseers wife has arranged and volunteered to give an informal class of kswahilli.We start next week. Im already learning so much on my own and im so eager to learn more!!!

Im trying to keep myself busy in as many spiritual activities as i possibly can. Helps fill in time and keep me focused..

Oh im obviously horrible in remembering what i wrote in the past and to lazy to go back and re read my last blogs  but what i have been doing on some of my free time is going in to the market of Toy, and since i know so many people there now, i have been able to wheel and deal!! For example, i took 3 blouses and tried to trade for different ones. It worked!! Thus far i have traded about 20 tops 5 skirts 2 dresses 2 pairs of shoes and 3pairs of earrings!! LOL

I can actually go in there with no cash and come with new things  its pretty fun. Some sisters ask me to go with them now since i seem to know the place better than them! LOL thats crazy, iv only been here since January! Whats even more interesting is that the vendors trust me so much that if i dont have money at that moment i can take the stuff anyways because they know i will come back to pay or trade!!

Good times good times

So yeah, i sent yal some pictures of when we went bowling last week. That was fun getting together with the friends. We are having a small get together over the weekend at this park i have never been to. Should be fun. Im enjoying spending time with the friends eve more now that Kyran is busy working.

Kp says hiiiii! He is busy studying for his ATPL (airline transport pilot licence) mean time going through training at wk. Busy man!

I often have to remind myself of how easy i have it not having to wk full time any more!!
Well i have a couple of small trips coming up soon. Kyran will have to go to the UK to do a couple weeks of training. I cant go with him  so im going with sandra and a couple from bethel to Mombasa, the coast off the indian ocean. Im also going to visit my friend in Eldoret. Look it up on the map and thats where im going

Nweza kukuonyesha andiko?? Thats means: “can i show you a scripture”
LOL i say that, take them to a text and thats as far as i am in my presentation!! I still need my partner to explain the text! Haha...baby steps

Thats all i got 4 ya folks!! Big Hugs and kisses!!
