I am still alive and well. We have been so busy trying to get everything done before we come home, that I haven't had time to write. I have wanted to sit down to blog a few times, but as soon as I do, someone (Tom), tells me something else that must get done......what ever Tom, don't you realize how important blogging is???? So I have been given a few minutes reprieve from my task-master husband, and have decided to write a quick note.
Nattie was sick at the beginning of the week; it looks like she has a parasite that will be typed tomorrow (here in Africa tomorrow means anywhere from right now to six months from now). Hopefully we will see what bug it is this time, and get her on medicine before we come home. Other than those pesky parasites we are pretty much healthy (at least for now).
Cassie was planning on getting her hair braided before we left to surprise everyone at home, but it looks like we can't get the right color of hair to put in her braids. Apparently her hair won't stay in braids unless she has fake hair braided in with her real hair.... who knew. Next time we will come prepared with hair from the states.
We have all been packing and trying to find clothes that fit (my kids have grown) that will also keep us warm. Yes, Lindsay, I know California is not cold compared to the Great White North, but I am still going to freeze. Especially since it has been yucky Hot today, the kind of hot that make you in a bad mood, and makes the flies stick to you. I hate flies and mosquitoes, yet they are ever-present here. I am the crazy fly swatter lady that goes around muttering to herself how much she hates flies, and screams at everyone for misplacing her fly swatter.... it isn't pretty.
I better close before I start detailing my whole life. Can't wait to see the good ol' USA, See you all soon.

Everyone is so excited for you all to come home.
Yes...it is getting a little chilly here and this weekend is suppose to drop to 30 deg. You will probably freeze for a little while, but you will become accustomed to it as time goes by.
We pray that God will cover the plane with his angels and you will have a smooth trip ALL the way home.
haha! I can picture you as a muttering, murdering, fly-swatting lady..because I am the exact same way. THey are the bane of my existence. And mosquitos are Satan's henchmen, sent to ingnite rage inside of me that I never knew could exist. How can I possibly be happy with 4 bites on my right bun, not to mention the multiple other bites on the rest of my body. Oh Jules...who is going to make me laugh after you leave me?
Oh, my darling Westfall's we are excited beyond belief that you will be here Monday. You are definitely in our prayers for good health, a safe and smooth trip, and the ability to SLEEP on the plane.
Today was the Women's Ministry Christmas Luncheon. Your momma had a speaking part. Gretch, Becks and Grandma Sue said I did a great job. They said I was a natural, well maybe they didn't exactly say that but I knew that's what they meant. I talked about our missionaries and what we as the ladies of Shelter Cove are planning on doing for them. I was onstage for a total of about five minutes but what I had to say in those five short minutes was nothing short of profound. Too bad you weren't there to see for yourself how great your momma was!!! All kidding aside, the luncheon turned out very nice. It was exciting being a part of the first Christmas luncheon in our new facility.
Well, my loves you're sleeping now. When you wake up it's only a few short hours before you fly from Kisumu to Nairobi, then the extremely long wait starts before you take off at 11:55 PM from Nairobi to London, then London to SFO. YEAH TEAM!!!!!! We're counting the hours.
I love you all.
I've been thinking about you guys today as you fly...you're almost here!!! I know right about now everyone is probably awake and wishing that it wasn't 3 hours left on that little handy map on the tv screen that charts your progress. I hope you guys at least got an ok meal from BA, and that the movie selection was all you hoped and dreamed it would be! =)
I do want to let you know that you will be cold no matter the temperature. i've been home for over a month and i've been pretty freezing ever since. Sorry to break it to you, but as a friend i want to be honest. =)
love you guys, and can't wait to see you!
