Hey all,

Sorry it's taken us so long to write. We are in Tanzania now and haven't had internet access.
Well the end of our time in Kenya was truly amazing. The celebration was so beautiful and it went EXCELLENT! There were students from 1999 when Rod and Betty came originnaly, they gave testimonies and it was s great to hear how CYIA had effected their lives. Mr. Kavuli gave a wonderfull talk on the dreams of CEF Kenya and where he wanted to see it grow. Rod gave the message and you could see that what he said was truly speaking to everyone in the crowd. The end of the celebration was by far the most entertaining. Betty got to cut the cake and then feed it to Rod, about a handfull of other people. It was so fun!! Then there was cake and lots and lots of yummy food. hahaha Yes in Africa, we eat our dessert first! SO GOOD! Sunday was our last day with the CYIA. Kendra and Josh helped lead worship and Rod spoke of being a light unto the world. It was such a great message. You could see the students soaking in everything he said with their eyes. Rod, Betty and Nancy left after church with Marth and Kathy to go to a huge Christmas bazzare, Josh and I stayed behind and went on the trial run to the clubs with two of the teams. At around 6 a cab came for Josh and I and we had to say our farewells. We stayed at Kathy and Martha's that night and left the next morning (monday) for Tanzania. Our trip to Tanzania was AWESOME! We rode on a bus with all of our luggage on the top. It was like we were on a rollercoaster! Bumpin and bouncin all over the place, we had so much fun. Once we crossed the boarder it looked like we were in the setting of the Lion King. It was so beautiful, it took your breath away. We saw Zebras on the side of the road just walkin around and there were lots of Masai with their cattle and their huts. It was amazing. Now it is Thursday and the teens are on day 2 of classes. There are 40 students total and 20 staff. And so far so good. The studenst are understanding our english very well which is a bonus! On Saturday they will be put into their teams and Sunday they will go for a trial run, so monday they can start teaching 5-day clubs! We are missing you all so much but are enjoying our time in Africa. Truly where we are it's like the garden of Eden, so beautiful, and we can see Mt. Killimanjaro from the sidewalk, have i mentioned it's beautiful?
Keep us in your prayers.
Missing and Loving you all
Betty, Rod, Nancy, Kendra and Josh
