Last night the Lost Orphans International (LOI) team spent the evening with the Naomi’s Village team. Naomi’s Village is the name of the orphanage LOI will be partnering with here in Kijabe. The unity and passion was very exciting. Everyone in the room was in tears as we thanked our Dad for allowing us to do this and the Hope he will be bringing to a hopeless people.
Our hosts, Bob and Julie Mendonsa, made us feel at home with a good ole’ mexican dinner. They called it tex-mexikenyan. The Mendonsa’s have been in Kijabe for six months (they came here from the Dallas area). Bob is an orthopedic surgeon at the CURE international hospital in Kijabe and Julie teaches at the world renown Rift Valley Academy here in Kijabe.
Today (it is 7am Kenya time as I blog) we are going to be visiting some other orphanages and doing a mini-safari. Needless to say, I am pretty pumped.
