Sunday Report from Mbuvi

I hope you are well. All is fine here and the kids are doing great. The new boys have adjusted well and working hard both in and out of classes. Sunday this week was just fun. The morning class had over 32 people which is good. We were reading Acts 12.

Among some things that seem miraculous to them that some people shared included...

Joseph Mburu, that one time he and Edward had been caught stealing at a mechanic shop and and all they had stolen was put before them. They were beaten and some of the mechanics were so angry they said they should burn them. They got tires and even poured kerosine on them and then one of thm pleaded saying "Ni wadogo sana" (they are very young), and we should just beat them and let them go. He said that was a miracle for them just like the angel walked Peter out of jail and it was hard even for Peter to believe. He also said it was hard for them to believe that they were not burned and he says maybe God wanted him to tell the story to our class some day.

Martin said it was a miracle for him to buy a piece of Land and Anthony said for him to visit the states was a miracle.

In our worship, Joel led singing with some Bible reading from a student. Wahome did an illustration for the Lord's table with the new Omo washing powder pack. He said that the pack said it removes tough stains ten over ten and he said that we have an even better Sin remover in Jesus. Some of the boys did a skit on giving about the rich man and the widow. We also had our fellowship tea.

In the Afternoon we had even more fun with the kids presenting about the united kingdom. This week they all really prepared and read their parts. The awards went to Group no. 5 with Joseph mburu, Mary Wangui, Alex Atemai, Nicholas and two others who all had a lovely skit about Nathan telling David about the rich man with a lot of goats and the poor with only one. They had come with two of our goats one which was big and one which was just a few days old. They had even bought some Ugali for the party!!!! The pic is of Nicholas, the poor man with his one and only goat.



Later they went for a soccer match. We are enjoying ourselves here. We miss you here but we know what you are doing is helping us in so many ways. Our love to all.




The second picture is of our students during the afternoon class acting about Solomon's wisdom. The two women are talking about who should keep the baby because one of the mums had her child die. They are working hard on their assignments.
