THINGS WE LOVE

Darlene and I have walked down memory lane lately.  We had our 50th Anniversary, with several trips and with good friends gathering for a celebration.  And we went through all 94 albums and the digital pictures so Darlene could print a book with about 100 pictures.

And with soon finishing our 20th year in street ministry, we have much to celebrate and memories to enjoy.  That has set us to thinking and talking about things we love.

We love

  • birds singing in the morning at Kamulu
  • raindrops on the metal roof
  • sitting on the rooftop patio with green all around or stars in the sky
  • playing music videos for the kids at MITS so they can learn songs
  • stopping at Java House for a cappuccino
  • seeing African animals
  • visitors at Made in the Streets
  • meetings with the MITS Team
  • Sunday morning class and worship at Kamulu
  • writing curricula and proposals and policy and dreams
  • having a car with an air conditioner
  • little kids at "MITSville" who come by for "biqui" (cookies) and "sweets"
  • a smile and hug from Lucy Wairimu
  • seeing Jackton and Millie evangelizing the guards at Kamulu
  • working with interns who love to be at MITS 
  • planning with the Team for literacy students to move into skills training
  • working with John Wambu on building at MITS 
  • having a cup of coffee in the evenings with John and solving the world's problems
  • getting ready to leave for time in the USA, or to leave for time in Kenya

There is more, but this is enough to keep us going for a while.

peace and joy,

charles
