From Kenya With Love - Letter #15

This letter is not dated, but my best guess is that it is from December 1996.

Dear Jill,

It is another happy chance I want to pass to you my warm greetings with a hope that you and your family members are still sustaining life from our lovely God. Here in Kenya my family and I are still fine under the guidance of Jesus Christ our Saviour. I spent my last holiday in practicing songs for the preparation of Christmas day. Now I am planning how I will be part in the choir competition and hoping that it will be a very happy day because Jesus Christ our Saviour will be born. During Christmas I will spend my time in the church acting as a member of a choir. At home we are how wedding maize and beans. At our church we are now getting ready to start practicing choir for the sake of Christmas day. May the living God be praised this is the thank my living God for what he has done for me and also to thank you very much for the money you sent to me as a gift. I was filled with joy when I had that money and I bought 4 chickens and the remaining money we used to buy some sugar for our family and we prayed for the love of God and the spirit you have unto us.

God bless you

Your lovely friend in Christ, Judith Wanga

Amazing what they buy, isn't it: 4 chickens! How many children in the UK or USA would buy housekeeping stuff with their birthday money? I get that feeling too when my girls in the Philippines say they've bought towels, sandals or underwear.

It blew me away 15 years ago, and it continues to blow me away - especially now that I have children of my own. I think I would pass out if they even asked me how to spend their birthday money, let alone offer to buy something beneficial for the family!

Jill.... amazing. My heart is full. I appreciate you sharing these letters. I have read most but can't find where you wrote about where Judith is now. Where in Kenya is she? Maureen (LDP in Kenya) always tells me if I know of someone near her she would be glad to visit. She is in Nairobi.

Thanks for always encouraging.....

Thanks for reading my blog. I am so excited about what God has done this week here. Even though my situation continues to be "hard" He still shows me HIS glory!

Much love!

Teena - you've asked me this before and I never answered. The truth is I don't know where she was or is. Her project number was KE 414 and was called Ematioli Primary School. I don't know if that one still exists. I'm not sure where to even start looking....
