We set aside the end of August and September to regroup and prepare for our Fall trips. We arrived home from West Africa to find a hot water leak in our foundation. Praise God it did not flood the house and that the plumber had a cancellation and could make the repair quickly. It did result in holes in the walls, replacing a failing hot water heater and an old dishwasher that did not survive the jostling to repair the plumping. In addition, our refrigerator died; we now have a new one.<\/p>\n<p>So, what happened to September? Paul and I have been updating our courses. I have been busy ordering new books and supplies for the children\u2019s ministry courses and library. Paul also peer-reviewed an article for a mission publication. We feel like we blinked, and September was gone.<\/p>\n<p>Paul is flying to Kenya today and taking a long-time friend, Lupe, with him to work on the seminaries&#8217; network. Paul has come down with a cold, which is not ideal for flying! He will also start teaching the day he arrives, which is also not ideal!<\/p>\n<p>I fly out on October 22. Paul and I will overlap in Kenya for about 2 weeks, then he will come home and I will stay until just before Thanksgiving. We will both teach two courses. Paul will be preaching in several of his student\u2019s churches, as well as, giving attention to his many other responsibilities at the seminary. In addition to my classes, I will work in the Children\u2019s Library and present a workshop on biblical (over cultural) discipline of children. Our time in Kenya is always very, very full. Please pray for health and energy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A large portion of our Spring and summer was spent traveling.
