The great thing about Tenwek is the kids have a lot more options for playing outside. It’s still a challenge for Rachel sometimes to be pregnant and take the two other kids for a walk or run around in the grass but she makes it work.
One of their favorite places right now is the neighbors trampoline. There are several long term missionary doctors here who have brought some great things from the US. This being one of them as far as Tekoa and Eliza are concerned.
For those that know Tekoa, a trampoline is a great way to channel million volts of energy. Eliza is a fan also but a little less destructive when she is on it.
Some pics of the kids enjoying their suckers and acting a bit the same.
This is a special breakfast because it is on of the few that we get to have together.
Dogs are great companions in Kenya. Many Kenyans are deathly afraid of dogs, making them great for guarding the property. Unfortunately it’s hard to find a good dog in Kenya unless you want to spend a lot of money. Again the Lord has shown himself faithful and another missionary has given us a pure bread German shepherd with full papers that was shipped over from the US last year. His name is Manna and he is almost a year old. Tekoa loves him but still gets a little concerned when Manna wants to play rough. Eliza is not real interested at the moment. Manna on the other hand seems to be great with kids. He is going to stay in Eldoret with the Senior Leisters until we are done at Tenwek.
