Life

So I just thought I'd give a few tidbits of info about life here. I live in Nyegezi, a village/suburb/extension of Mwanza city, at the Nyanza glass compound, which is like a little neighbourhood/subdivision with maybe 20 houses. I now live not at the main guest house with the other volunteers but at the 2nd house rented by Starehe Children's Home where long-time semi-permanent volunteers Harry and Elaine live when they are here. I'm slowly eating less food from the U-Turn grocery store and more from locals here in Nyegezi- a small shop sells flour, rice (with the occasional small pebble mixed in), sugar, etc. and Mama Sophia, my new friend/surrogate mother who sells me wonderful veggies at cheap prices and shows me how to cook them. She is very concerned that I learn how to cook properly, and will have taught me a lot by the time I get home. I spend most of my time at the orphanage, and am just now working out what my regular schedule will be like.

I'm in Mwanza!

So I have arrived. I am now in Mwanza, and loving it.
It is so good to be back.
We are safe, having a good time, needing prayer, and loving spending time with the kids.
I hope everyone at home is doing well too!

Steve's Random Question for Week 1

Are you praying a)that Steve returns safely to Canada (like my Mom), b)that the Lord sends lions to Steve so He can shut their mouths (like Richard), c)that I don't come back (like Johnny Clem), d)without ceasing, i.e. 24/7 (like my Oma), or e)not at all... (shame on you...) ???
