It is 9:00 in the evening here in Nairobi, we are sitting here with the lights very dim, a brown out, and waiting for them to go out. This is the third night in a row that we have lost power. It is raining very hard, the air is humid and it’s about 72 degrees. It is the rainy season and it has been a wet one. Bruce is reading his scriptures and I am glad I didn’t try to make the elders cookies as I had planned. I am sending this picture because we were to get new curtains today but pretty much it fell through. Consolata came to clean this morning, we left for the hills and she took down all the old curtains for us. When we got home our windows were bare and so we had to make some quick adjustments. Elder Byrd said they will be ready tomorrow but he has to go down and pick up the curtains himself and the man needs a ride so he can hang them up. That is so Africa, when the man gets here, he will want you to give him a chair or a stool to stand on while he does his work. Elder Byrd will then need to take him back to his shop. ( if you get in an accident you have to have someone go and pick up the cops and bring them back) Here are 2 pictures taken of the Mitini Market. Bruce was standing on the porch of the chapel and this is the view. It is hard to explain how you can fall in love with a place that looks so barren but when the people are there and walking to church it just comes a live. I get a warm feeling just talking about it.
