May 15

What a day we had! It actually started out the night before with some excitement.... Jan was sitting on the small couch in her bedroom, when a bat flew in the open window and landed right by her shoulder on the couch, hitting her slightly. Needless to say she removed herself from the couch and the room very quickly. I was able to throw a sheet over it and safely release it outside where it could once again swoop through the air catching bugs. Thursday morning we had a visitor - a 4'2" spitting cobra came down the driveway. The guards and garden boy was were running through the yard with sticks. I ran after them shouting "don't kill it" while Jan stood on the chair in the office shouting "kill it, kill it". I managed to rescue it, but it had been injured. We put it in the bathroom trash can with a lid and set it out in the shade until I had time to release it where humans are not around. But the injuries ended up being too much and we had the garden boy bury it this morning. We headed over to our meeting at the conference! What a blessing. We met from 2pm - 6:30pm and God moved in such a mighty, mighty way! It was thrilling.
God is blessing in so many ways!

Our truck is in really bad shape and we are having to rent a 4 wheel drive to go to Narok District today. We are not sure where the money will come from to cover the cost of fixing the truck, plus renting one to get down there, but we know that God will provide. Please keep us in your prayers.
Life is always exciting here!
