We just finished our second week of orientation here in Kenya and our highlight was learning about African worldview and values from African teachers. We have adjusted to living in dorms as a family and it has been a good transition for us into living a more African lifestyle. We will be here for one more week. We have lots more to learn!

It takes a family to do laundry!

Arriving at the local market
We walked to the market and then took a “tuk tuk” back. It is basically a motorcycle with with 3 wheels or a small car with 3 wheels… not sure…

Beautiful photos! Glad you all are adjusting well:)
Josiah looks like he’s about to fall into that bucket! LOL. Thanks for posting these photos. It’s wonderful to have some eyes into what you’re experiencing in Africa so far. Melvin and I miss you all dearly!

It is so good to see you arrived safely and see your smiles! I attended the Module 1 Tropical Medicine Course at WVU this summer and missed you guys! Hope you get settled in well and enjoy the work! I plan on finishing all four modules and hope to get more Tropical Medicine experience in the future. Will be interested in updates!
Wash your hands, don’t drink the water, don’t ride motorcycles, don’t swim in fresh water, always wear your shoes, and don’t run with scissors! But make sure you have fun!

C’est très agréable d’avoir de vos nouvelles. Votre orientation semble bien se dérouler. Encore seulement une semaine et c’est le départ de nouveau. La vie là-bas semble être très différente d’ici… Les tuk tuk, le lavage des vêtements dans un seau, les animaux dans les rues…
Vous nous manquez beaucoup ici, on pense souvent à vous et on prie pour que tout se déroule bien et que Dieu mette sa main sur vous. Geneviève s’ennuie des moments avec Grace et il n’y a plus personne pour répondre à ses nombreuses questions sur le développement de Raphaël!!
Que Dieu vous garde en santé!
Affectueusement
Israel, Genevieve et Raphael
