Storey Update, 25Apr21

PRUF(prayer requests up front)
-Clear minds and diligence in language learning
-Wisdom in parenting/homeschooling
-Opportunities to share the gospel/encourage the local church(COVID lockdown rules in Kenya make this very difficult!)

—————————————————————————————————————————-

What a busy 3 weeks it has been! For a recap:
-we arrived in Nairobi 3 weeks ago today after 30+ hours of travel, 19 of which were spent in the air!
-we are staying at an IMB(International Mission Board) compound in Nairobi proper, which has been a blessing for a number of reasons!
-we started formal Swahili training 2 weeks ago. While learning a new language is ALWAYS challenging, both Rebekah and I are encouraged with our progress thus far.
-because we’re homeschooling while in full time language, we have hired a householder. Phoebe is the wife of a local pastor who comes in 5 days a week to help us. She is WONDERFUL, and just the help that we needed to navigate living in Africa!
-we’ve resumed homeschooling the boys, albeit with a truncated curriculum. For a zoology/botany field trip we took a drive in the nearest safari park. It was simply surreal to drive out onto the savannah and see all these animals roaming free! Pics are below, and as always, Rebekah keeps more extensive records over at the “Home In Africa” blog on this site.
