So sorry, again, for taking a while to post. I had a friend come and visit in November it was great to have her be a part of life here in Kenya. You will read more about this in a future blog - this post is about December, just like everywhere else, December is a busy month here in Kenya. So rather than share by writing I thought I'd share via pictures.

I joined a few ladies for a quick trip to Nairobi to go to the Christmas craft fair. We also went out for a lovely dinner and I tried crocodile - it really tasted like chicken. |
|
As soon as I got back to Tenwek it was off again with most of the long term missionaries for a time of meetings and Christmas celebrations. |
|
I got up early and saw the sun rise over Mount Kenya, it looks small but its about 175km away |
|
The youth did a play. It was entertaining, I was the director of this play. They did well. |
|
On the way home we stopped to buy pineapple. This is what happens in this town when you slow down on the road with the window open. |
|
I attended a party for this young man (the one with the garland) he has just completed a coming of age ceremony. I work with the smart looking lady in this photo. |
|
To celebrate Christmas with the interns I had 16 interns over for a Pizza night. |
|
I am still helping with the youth and in addition to Sunday afternoon get togethers, seen here, we also had a 4 day youth retreat, (Just during the day we sent them home in the evening) |
|
As a Tenwek community we had a fun eveing of appetizers and some singing. Accordion in Kenya, who knew. |
|
Christmas eve service singing by Candlelight |
|
Christmas Carols in the hospital. |
So it was a busy month, on top of this was normal work at the Hospital I had some quiet weeks but the last week and a half leading up to Christmas has been busy with up to 8 patients on a ventilator. Hopefully things get better soon.
