On the road again

We have been in Nairobi the past few days shopping for supplies. We also had some paper work to do on our truck which ended up costing more than we thought. Tomorrow we will head back home after we pick up our produce and meat. We also will be bringing back a lady with us who will be our Swahili teacher for the next month. We are hoping to improve our Swahili so we can be more effective in our daily life and ministry. Language is so important in getting to know people better.
We are so thankful for those who donated for our wind mill and tower. We will be bringing back the tower with us this trip. We are still waiting on the wind mill to arrive. Hopefully we will be able to get that next trip in. I was also able to buy Sarah and Summer a dresser with some B-day money from my father-in-law. They have been living out of footlockers since we have lived here. There are very excited about it. So thank you all for your selfless giving.
Our little Savannah is in full crawl now! She is so cute crawling around trying to keep up with Sarah and Summer. I have caught her many times trying to eat dust balls. It is amazing what a baby can find on the floor. So now we will be on the run for sure.

This is a message from Emily for Summer, Sarah and Savannah:
"I love Savannah and I hope she grows up soon. I love Summer and Sarah and Savannah too. My family loves me so much and I love you too and I hope you have a great time."
Here is a message from Kiley: "I hope that your baby grows up soon. What do you like to do where you live? I hope that you had a great trip back home."
The girls loved the picture of the girls in the tire. They said, "How cute!" John and Karli are sleeping right now. Long couple of days.
Hope your trip back was good. Talk to you soon. Tanya

A windmill! How fun!

La, you sound so Ma Ingles-ish in this post; buying dresses for the SB1 and 2 with your birthday money.
How sweet.

It was good to talk with you for a little bit today. Dad and I will call Monday for your birthday. Let us know a good time to call.
