Today was a safari/rest day as our trip is winding down to its finish line. The rest was needed for some. Jacque continues to be sick and thus decided to skip out on all of today’s activities. I and Tyler also decided to skip out on the safari and sleep in and spend the morning and early afternoon with the children at Openhand instead.

Those who went on the safari had a great time and saw all the animals that were in the Nairobi park (Elephants are not in the park. They also didn’t see a Leopard, which is a rare site to see).

I was sad to learn one of the 5 puppies at openhand had died yesterday. It had seemed ill over the last few days.

The basketball rim that was put up keeps coming down and Benson said it will probably have to be welded on.

Tyler and I along with Benson and some of the kids (Esther, Lucy, Joy, Eunice, Gideon, Albert, Agnes, and Enoch) walked from Openhand to Azusa springs school (where the kids get their education) to check it out and play some games. We played mumball with the kids (except we didn’t prohibit speaking…so I guess it wasn’t technically mumball).

Around 4:30 we did our devotional over Psalm 112 (given by dad). After devotionals we loaded up the vehicle to go to Fogo Gaucho for a special dinner with our group to treat Alice, the 2 Esthers and Jennifer (who have taken such good care of us and fed us this trip. They also take care of the children on a daily basis), benson and his wife, and Alice and 3 of her kids (Njambi, Joy, and Emmanuel).
