over the river and through the woods, to VisiGraceland we go...

yesterday, Jon, Chad, Susan, Baba Njoroge and I went to visit our land! I was very, VERY excited to show Jon and Chad our property, and they were duly impressed. it is so exciting every time I set foot on our property and realise that it's OURS (yours!) and that our dream is coming to fruition. God has been very, very good to us.

we interviewed Susan, our caretaker Bernard, and I also gave the video camera a tour of the land. I am looking forward to watching the video when it's all put together- Jon and Chad have gotten some great footage.

they (Jon and Chad) have been incredible. they've been thrown headfirst into a completely foreign culture with a very steep learning curve (13 days is not very long for a trip like this) and they've been very gracious about everything.

I can't believe I've only been here a few weeks- I feel like I'm settled in for good.

Saturday we are visiting some slums (the slums 'our' kids live in) and then going souvenir shopping! woohoo!

more later-

Ashby

oh PS...still making SLOW SLOW SLOW headway on the building permits...please keep it in your prayers!
