Back to School 2011

B A C K T O S C H O O L

How quickly summer break goes by! Tristan and Emma returned to school this past week after a busy summer. Emma went in on Wednesday to help with "new student orientation", and they both met their new teachers and classmates on Thursday. It has been cool and wet in Nairobi, as the city is getting light showers. The kids are excited to be up early and out the door -- The big challenge in the morning is getting around our three dogs and their muddy paws!

This week, we've also been able to connect with several of our CBM team mates. Tim Bannister joined us on Wednesday night for the Canadian Association of Kenya's first official function at the residence of the High Commissioner. Erica is serving as the treasurer for the Canadian Association. It was a great event with special guest Roberta Bondar, the first Canadian woman astronaut. The next day, we also had a chance to connect with a short term team visiting Kenya from Whitby Baptist Church, Ontario.

Last night, we had our CBM director, Terry Smith, and his daughter Katelyn stay with us. We had a great evening out together with the Godwin family. Terry will be teaching Aaron's doctoral course this coming week in Mitaboni.
