He ain't Heavy he's my brother

We all arrived in KipKaren in one piece. All the people of the village that we have had contact with have been very kind. Fitz had a little trouble with phone and internet, as you can tell we have internet thanks to Paster Peter and we were able to call home to say Hi. Thanks to Dr. Fitz for the hours of hair pulling she went through for us all today. We are still having a problem with uploading pictures.

We went through all of our baggage today and the only thing that is missing is our soil sample kit. Not sure if it got put in the wrong bin when we were rearranging everything or it is lost? So, for all the readers that didn't think it was necessary to cross your fingers we need your help so the kit will show up.

As for title of my blog. Fitz, Carolyn and I were down looking at the river today where they have rerouted the river. As we were looking at this rock in the middle of the river a bird landed on the rock and for those of you who have had the pleasure of being around me with my camera I had to get a picture. Then another bird came to join him and then all of a sudden the second bird jumped up on the first birds back of a minute. Then off they kind of looked at each other and continued to sit on the rock. I regret that I can not share the picture of the birds at this time. We will post more pictures when the internet lets us.

That is all for now.

  5. Hello to Jelly Bellies and all the remarkable people you are with. Reading about the wonderful work--and it sounds like very difficult work--is so inspiring. It's so true--there are so many people in the world without clean drinking water but you are doing something about that. Congrats!
    Oh, and it RAINED!! That's wonderful.
    You're in our thoughts and definitely in our prayers.
    Keep up the great work!!
