Courtney and I working on Rose Alice's hair in the nursery. Almost no one has long hair in Kenya, even the girls. -it's all extensions, so when it's time to take it out and braid new hair in, we cut the extensions short and unbraid them/separate them from her real hair. It's a long process, and I commend the girls' patience for sitting all that time. 

I wrote letters for each of the kids and toddlers,  Courtney/Mallory, Greg and Mary Rose, Faith, Judith, Winifred and Rose Alice, and Joyce...I think that makes 52. I was working on them every night at the coffee table in the living room for the last couple weeks. God directed me to write these, and I hope that maybe He had something to say through my words. He always knows what I need, and what everyone needs. I think writing these letters was a great way for me to process leaving/going home, and bring closure to my assignment there. I pray that it's also helpful for the kids to process me leaving. I miss them so much already <3.

My sweet potato pie and banana bread with vanilla icing. I had a baking frenzy the final week at the home, and made at least 4 different cakes, etc.  :)
I'm sorry, this post is from a couple weeks ago, but we just haven't had internet. There will be several more 'catch up' posts so that the blog will be current, and I'll work on those A.S.A.P.
