Catching Up

So I have alot of catching up to do I'll start with April. In April My husband and I got married on the 17th. :D yay it was a great day.

April 1-13:

For Jimmy and I this time was used for wedding planning as well as missions. We spent time in attempt to help our close personal friends become closer to God and each other. We united a Dancer with a group of Dancers. We arranged my father and my husbands brother so that they could go on missions. Which they went and spoke to many people on several locations.

April 14:

8:00am- I got Malaria with systems of vomit. We were on our way to a town way out in the bush called pokot. I was blessed to have vomited before we even left Kitale. My brother-in-law Pastor Tim insisted that we go to the Doctors. So we went to visit my new Uncle Dr. Njenga. I was diagnosed and sent off with a script for Lonart the Malaria drug thing. Then afterwards off to Pokot. We left at 10 and the ride was to take 4 hours. It took us 8. We arrived in pokot after trading our transportation broke down twice. It was dusk and there was 1 incandescent light bulb. I felt like i was going to pass out so Jimmy took me out to the car and I laid down in the back seat. I was called back in to give out clothing that we had brought along. As we gave the clothing to the children Natalia was in her element enjoying the ministry she had come to do. We returned home that night at around 3:30 am. The trip home was a quarter of the length there. Could be because I was sleeping or because the vehicle didn't break down whatever it was, whatever.


April 24-30:

Dad, Jimmy, Natalia and I went to Nairobi to drop dad off at the airport so he could return to the home land. :P After dad left on the 26th we went to Kikuyu to help a good friend with her Children's home. We did the plumbing and put a sink in. As well as shoveled to put the pipes in. It was a blast.

May 1-12:

My husband and I traveled to schools to minister to students during what they call weekend challenges. We saw many lives change. We also worked with the dancer boys at "The Fire Place".


May12- 30: My husband and I made a trip to Nairobi for about 2 weeks to apply for His Canadian Visa. Which was denied. We were alright with this verdict. And will try again someday soon.

May 31: We dropped Natalia off at the airport.



June 1: We arrive home to our new house. It has 2 bedrooms a living room and shower and toilet and a kitchenish thing. :P It's a lovely yellow...same color as moms kitchen at home. We settled in.

June 3: We got a puppy. She's so cute. We named her Elsie after my late aunt.

June 23: My husband and I tag team preach to recovering drug addicts and prostitutes. We spoke about the love of God to them. It was warmly welcomed. This is where my passion lies. I feel the calling of God on my life in this area. So After planning for months my husband and I are about to launch PureLove. I will tell of the ministry in a later chapter of this blog. My husband and I were on our way into town when we got a call asking Jimmy to speak to a group of Youth about worship.

June 24: Jimmy went to speak on worship again.

June 25: Jimmy and I are sick. I stayed home in bed as he went out to speak at school in a local village. He came home at about 3pm and we went to buy groceries. This is up to date. We will write more elaborate blogs in the future.

  1. Dear Lawna!

    I trust that you and Jimmy are feeling better. May the Lord restore your health quickly so that you may continue on doing His ministry. Praise Him for what you are doing there in your new homeland, Lorna! And praise God that He has given you this man, Jimmy, for your husband! Thank you for your update.

    I just returned from Alberta where I was visiting my son, Scotty, his wife, Stephanie, and their two children, Micah and Siena Joy. Siena Joy was born May 24 and she is one wonderful little child. She is so content and beautiful. She has big brown eyes like her Mommy! Micah was toooo cute, as well, and we had many bonding moments! :-)

    Tomorrow staff training starts at Maple Springs--the same day as the Open House! We are excited! I pray that God will use us all for His glory!

    Love you and miss you!

  2. It is evidence That the presence of God is with you two. Am blessed at your calling and ministry. May you keep up the good labor in Christ,knowing that He rewards those who diligently seek him. Also am forever grateful for the efforts you guys put at Jerusalem Children's ministry with the Plumbing. I see you and Natalia make your beautiful feet dirty ,while Jimmy works the broom without minding the dust. Only people full of Christ Love endure to do such things. May Our God bless you and always provide your needs. Always in my prayers.
