Jun. 16, 2007 - Day 2 - Mombasa
Today was a little more restful. The children are not in school so Guy went out to Carole's house to get an interview with her and shoot more video. She is such an incredible woman. She lives with a couple of illnesses that sometimes keep her in bed with pain. As soon as she is better, she hits the ground running again. But we have seen that rain, shine, storms or anything else will keep her from fulfilling the vision God has given her.
Jackson spent the day with his aunt, cousin, sister and uncle. We dropped him off at their home this morning and just picked him back up tonight. His aunt made capattis for him...it's a fried flat bread...he loved it. I can't make them, so he doesn't get it at home. They went to the beach, played, talked about everything and then went and visited some of Jackson's friends. One of the friends saw Jackson and cried...he was so happy to see him again. Jackson was very touched by this display of emotion from a childhood friend. Jackson had a great time with them today and they are so impressed by his growth and maturity.
A nice dinner on the harbor, updating this blog and now off to bed. We are going to the village for church tomorrow and Jackson's grandmother comes in from Nairobi. It will be a big, busy day.
