Thank you for all your prayers for Nattie, she is getting better. She still has a tender tummy, but no fever (yea team). She was so excited because we went to Nakumatt today, her first journey after being cooped up in the house for so long. All in all, it was an uneventful trip to the grocery store, but it was good to see her out and about once again. I also wanted to say thank you for all the recipes, I NEED them, so if you find a good one send it my way.
This week is looking like it is going to be busy; Tom has meetings tomorrow with the Mayor of Kisumu (yes, I know, we are big time now!). He is trying to figure out who is trying to build a road down the middle of Agape. Hopefully, the mayor knows, because no one else seems to, yet the tractor is getting closer to our campus every day. Only in Africa would a renegade road builder try to "pave" where he was not wanted. Tom also gets to fly to Nairobi Tuesday, he is going to check on our work permits and to try to settle a land deed issue for Agape. I hope that he can find a car while he is there, I'm ready to be a mobile family once again.
Cassie just came out of her room screaming because a bat is flying around in there. Tom has gone in, armed with a homemade net, a flashlight and a can of DOOM. He just came flying out declaring, "Cassie's room now belongs to the bat!". I have just given him a pep talk, prayed for him and he is now feeling the courage to go back in and try again. Here he comes again still no bat, just an empty net. He definitely is not Batman and, to tell you the truth, I think that The Boy Wonder is also a little out of his league. He has now resorted to throwing shoes at it from the safety of the doorway, this is just going from bad to worse...I must let you all go and try to help my "fearless" husband rid our house of our little flying friend.

Give the bat a name and call it a pet. It will keep the mosquito population down.
Angela says try DOOM on the tractor driver.

This is a message from Chloe to Nattie: Hi Natalie, I hope you are having fun in Africa now that you are better. Is it hot there? It has been hot in Modesto. I have been swimming and spending the night at my grandma's house. I miss you. Goodbye!
(Hugs and prayers for the rest of your bunch as well!)
This is from Wes...Cas I will come to Africa and kill the bat. I have bats in my room and that's what I do. I say "No, No bats!!!" You should not be afraid of the bats. I love you and miss you.
Love, Wessy
I just signed up so I can add my comments to your blog. I'm becoming so high tech!!!! Tom, I think you're very brave. I think you look like a super hero in the picture. Let's see your name could be Awesome Net Man. I love you all. Mom aka Sweet Momma
Nice MacGuyvering of the "bat net"!! So the knife strapped to Tom's leg didn't help with the bat either?
Hearing from you helps keep things in persepective and watch what silly things I complain about. I am praying for you!- Love M
