The Baby Center

We spent the afternoon at the Baby Center yesterday, which was so much fun!  This gorgeous little girl is named Ida. 

Here is Colleen sitting in the shade surrounded by the kids... we're trying to learn all of the names, so I think this is Andrew, Joshua, Precious, Meshak, Daniel Owiti, and Ida.

Colleen went back to the Baby Center today to start to work with the kids in the classroom.  It was a great experience, but a bit difficult to keep order and communicate with the caregivers/children.  It would be very beneficial for the kids to have some structured learning and one-on-one attention, so pray that Colleen learns Swahili quickly and can be assertive in setting up a program.

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." ~ James 1:27

  3. Love the pictures... of the babies, the house, backyard, mosquito netting, Tucker, ?the gecko?... We are praying that you, Cason, will quickly get a handle on your job responsibilities and you, Colleen, will quickly learn some basic Swahili to communicate. We love you both and are so proud of you. Mom
