We commune together at church on Sundays, family worship Sunday nights, prayer time Monday nights and share meals. Our days are heating up as we continue to learn the language, work in ENT clinic, and get involved in the community work. We ran in a 10 K fund raiser from Tenwek Hospital to the local town of Bomet.

Our language training is progressing. We have a tutor for 2.5-3 hrs 3 days a week and are to study 2-3 hrs a day (if not distracted). We can not carry on much of a conversation...
