Well I've got to leave the country. January 23rd my visa expires so I'm gonna get out of Africa for about a week. It's looking like I'll be headed to Europe. Actually my visa expired November 28 but I couldn't leave then cuz I had a team coming in from the States. I was illegal for a week, got a week extension, illegal for another week, then got a month extension. I gotta get out 'fore they kick me out. I'm thinkin' Rome...
The houses are looking great. We need to fab and install our cabinets, finish the counter tops, paint and install our fixtures. Tedious stuff.
Ryan got robbed in Nairobi a couple of days ago. It's a long story but I'll give you the gist. He's alone at night and three guys jump out of a car and stick guns to his head. They took 2 Iphones, his laptop, documents, basically everything he had. He flagged down some college kids in a car and they took him to the police station. Apparently these guys would hijack a car and at gunpoint make the person drive around while they would jump out and rob people. They hijacked a few different cars and robed over a dozen people that night. There was also a report of someone being shot.
On a lighter note...I got a new German Shepherd puppy yesterday. She's going to be a guard dog at our compound. I've forgotten how much work these little things are. Since I started typing this blog she peed in one room and pooped in another. Yes...Bud and Kim...in your house...but don't worry it wasn't on any of the carpets :)

Your puppy is sooooooooooo cute and cuddly looking! Fluffy! You should post a picture of her. I saw the pic on Chad's iphone. A name is hard to come up with since she is going to be a guard dog for your protection on the property and not a family pet. Does that mean that no one but you can go outside at night when she is released? Or will she be fine with everyone already on the property and only attack intruders? Love you so much, Mom
I'll make sure I lock her in a small cage, poke her with sticks and beat her. Feed her nothing but live animals. Then she'll take out anyone and everything.
...But really...
I'm not exactly sure. I don't want her to attack the parents and children. But I also don't want her to sit and watch the intruder like our dogs did last night.
Her name is Providence. When God gave me the name I told him I didn't like it but I would look up the meaning and give it a chance. It mean's "care and provision of God". Awesome huh?
Jeremy Isaac! For a few seconds I was appalled! You and your sense of humor! I LOVE the name God picked! So amazing! I'd say, providential! What intruder last night? Human or animal? Keep me posted! I love you and the God in you that makes you, you!!! Yo Momma!
