Kwaheri (Good-bye) Kenya

Phil speaks -- This will probably be our last post before we leave Kenya. About 5 AM next Sunday morning, 17 May, we will pass through this gate for the last time as Jon Masso transports us to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi. This gate is the only entrance and exit for the Daystar Athi River campus, so we have greeted the security guards as we passed through here many times.

At noon today, Wednesday the 13th, we will take the Daystar bus to Daystar Nairobi where we will stay tonight, so that we can be ready to fly to Maasai Mara tomorrow morning for our safari. My brother, Frank, his wife, Carol, and my sister, Myrt, are flying from Burundi to Nairobi today and will join us on the safara along with Ken and Irene (Carol's cousin) Edgar. The Edgars are Wycliffe missionaries in Nairobi. We will post photos and give a report on our safari after we return to the US.

We thank God for a good experience here in Kenya. I finished marking the 78 final exams a few days ago and completed the course grades on Monday. I am happy to say that none of my students failed, and that several did very well. It was a pleasure to work with them. Three of my students were in a financial position where it looked like they would not be allowed to take their final exams; we were able to put some money in their accounts from our ministry fund so that they got their exam permits and completed their courses. Thank you for your prayers and support. God is good!
