We began our day today with the daily chapel at Maua Methodist Hospital. They begin every day with a chapel service for all employees and today's message was the story of God's faithfulness to Hagar and Ishmael when they were banished from Abraham . . . we were reminded that the Kenyans are the descendants of Ishmael and that God is still faithful to them as God was faithful to Hagar and Ishmael. . . God always provides and God never abandons!What an inspiring messge! We started our workday by making balloon animals (ala Dale McCormick) for the children in the chidlren's ward. They were precious, had beautiful smiles and loved the comic relief of our animal making. Even more humorous was our practice session with the balloons the night before. Many of the children were sick from contaminated water and dehydration. After our time in the children's ward, we returned to our painting of the staff houses. We almost completed the house today . . . will return tomorrow for some minor touch up and clean up and then . . . who knows what we will be doing! We have more paint on us than we left in the house, but we are certain God will redeem our eforts! We have responsibility for the chapel service tomorrow, so be praying for us!
