Little Bo Peep

I did lose some sheep, but they came home wagging their tails behind them. :) I have a new nickname Little Bo Peep. Over a week ago I was supposed to have the sheep come back to the barn a little early and when the sheep weren't back at the right time I went to look for them. Meanwhile the director who was waiting to pick up some sheep to take to Mafinga called and asked where I was. I said I'm looking for my sheep. He said something about Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep. Then on Sabbath I received a call from one of the Maasai saying that one of the sheep couldn't walk and needed to be brought back to the barn. Well there were no cars down campus so we had to wait until one returned from church. Well we finally got up there and the Maasai said that they had gone back to look for it and it had walked away. But it was found two days later. In the mean time on Monday I had someone come to me and tell me that if we had any sheep missing that most likely one of the Maasai was going to sell it. Well to make a long story short it wasn't true we had accidently picked up a village sheep in our herd and some people were wanting to go look at it to see if it was theirs. But it got all worked out we still have a villagers missing sheep but we will wait to see if the person gives the right description of the sheep before we give it back to them.

Oh and we will be doing more regular counts of our sheep. So I will be counting sheep over the next few days, but I will not fall asleep while doing so. :)

The Lay-Evangelists were here for a week and they have returned or started their return journey's home today. Tomorrow our Evangelism students start to come for the new session. So there will be many more people on campus.

Thanks for all of your prayers they help  a lot.

Never a dull moment

Well it has been over 3 months since I last posted. Time sure flies. I've been busy working and doing  my best to stay out of trouble :).   Anyways some things that have happened at Kibidula are the Lay Evangelist school had their graduation a month ago, the Lay missionaries arrived yesterday for a week, and the Agriculture school is having their graduation this wednesday, and they are really excited. The avocado project is producing lots of avocados and they are so yummy. People here have come up with some awesome recipes using avocados and they are so delicous. Fresh from the tree and it is so good to eat with bread. Anyways I love avocados. The primary school is out for a month. A missionary is leaving :(    It is now winter here in Africa, and it is cold. Like 40F or so at night, it may not sound cold but when the houses are not that insulated it gets really cold, and then a warm fire is sooooo nice. And the rainy season is over till next November or December. We have about 6,000 square bales of hay to feed our sheep through the dry season, and about 1,500 sheep to feed them to. Please pray for our sheep for their protection, and that we make it through the dry season without too many losses.  Please pray for our Maasai. Please pray that God will send more workers here to Kibidula we need more people to help with the work load.

Yeah I'm never bored there is always something to work on or do, and that is good. I really need to work on my garden. I'm growing more weeds than vegetables.
