Friends from Home

We feel really comfortable living with our friends here, but it's also true that we are far from home and we love to get emails from friends and family. This week we saw a friend from Santa Rosa, Gary Moline, one of Popie's counseling colleagues. Gary had been roaring over the countryside with a Kenyan pastor he knows; the last two days of his trip he was in Nairobi. We introduced him to our friends the Wachiras and the Okonjis over meals at their home. It was very fun. Gary also very kindly brought Popie some needed contact solution. And a book!

We also got word that our friends Dean and Wendy Hirsch will come for Dick Jan's wedding March 14. They'll only be here a few days, but they will add great excitement to the event (as if any were needed). Dean and Wendy actually introduced us to the Okonjis 30 years ago, so this will be a bit of a reunion.

Can I add that the weather here really is phenomenal? We have had gorgeous, perfect days without exception since we came. Amazing.

That will be SOME reunion! It is so wonderful to get a sense of this wedding negotiations. With photos, it becomes even more fascinating. We're so glad that Popie's knees are better.
In case you're wondering who "we" are, it's Cindy and Brian.
