I Watched a Baby Being Born

This morning Darlene and I went to chapel as always.  Made in the Streets has visitors from Midland, TX and Lubbock Christian University.  The students did their small group Discovery Bible Study on Joel 2:28-32 while the Team and visitors met outside.  After chapel we spent some time with the visitors, then we walked over to the boys' compound.  I wanted to take pictures of the wrecked van; we need to convince the insurance company it is not repairable.  I also talked with Moses Mwangi and the young men working under him who are painting one of the dorms.  And I talked to Charles Ndonyi, our mechanics teacher, about our car needing air conditioner work.  As we were about to leave, Ben, our landscape and animal guy, came in and told us the cow was about to have a calf.  So we stayed around and watched the birth.  Darlene had never seen anything like that; I guess she wasn't watching when she gave birth.  The calf did exactly what she should - stuck her feet out with head laying on her legs.  After she was born, mom licked her all over.  After about 10 minutes, she managed to stand up!  So...MITS has another baby...maybe one we'll keep for the future.

Ready to be born!

Ahhh, my baby!

I can walk
