Dick with completed stove, (prototype #1)

We're back in Canada!
It was an interesting trip back. There was the 2 hour drive to Eldoret over very bad roads and a 1 hour flight to Nairobi. The fellow that was to pick us up at the airport was almost an hour late and the hotel he took us to, well, it had a double bed.
The next morning he was an hour and a half late picking us up to go to the airport. The flight wasn't until 8:10 so what's wrong with getting there at 7:30??? He had never flown. We got on board, but not with a lot to spare.
From Nairobi to Amsterdam was 8 hours, a good flight operated by Kenya Airways. In Amsterdam we had a 1 1/2 hour layover then another 8 hours to Toronto. Our daughter Cathy was there with grand daughter Deborah to pick us up and take us to her place where we spent the night before driving the 1 1/2 hours to Belleville.

We are now settled in and are planning to speak at 2 churches in June, "The Gathering" on 19 June and at Quinte Bible Chapel on June 26. One big job we are working on is selecting, naming and organizing the hundreds of photos and videos we took into a coherent story. We've heard from Bruce, the Australian who replaced us and he seems to be getting into things very well.

Shortly before we left we had lunch with Mary, one of the advisory committee members. While talking to her we learned she had been raised by a father who insisted she learn the old ways. Her children are grown and she thought Eva's idea for her to teach those old traditions to the children was a great idea. (In Kenyan culture the grandmother would usually do this but the children at Robin's Nest don't have a grandmother.) Mary agreed to take on the roll of grandmother and the next Saturday she spent 2 hours talking with and teaching the children.

Our thanks to all who were praying for us during the mission. I'm sure that contributed to our feeling of peace and security during the mission.
