Skyping Momma

So, I have somewhat decent internet access here in Kijabe. Yesterday I was trying to Skype my Momma. Any of you who have received a phone call via Skype know that it appears as a sketchy number like +00001234. So I called Momma about 5 times and I could hear her but she couldn't hear me so she naturally thought it was someone either playing a trick or a telemarketer or worse so she had the number blocked. I sent her a facebook message to let her know it was me. She wrote me back and said "OH NO, I didn't know I was blocking MY LITTLE BUNNY!" I wrote her back and thought that I'd put that message here too cause it talked a bit about some of the stuff that's been going on the past couple of weeks:

"Hey Momma,

Oh good! I was concerned the international police my come get me or that there might be a CITIZENS ARREST!!! I'll be leaving Kijabe tomorrow for Nairobi where I'll meet the Sassers again. And I just received an email from Dr. Chapman who was confirming my travel plans to Kampala on the 21st of June. I got to talk on skype with C-ton [my brother] for about 5 minutes yesterday before Skype cut me off.

Last weekend Dr. Rich's son, Micah, and some friends of their family, 3 Congdon boys (Robert, Stephen & Paul), took us for a hike. It was more like bushwacking through a ravine so now I can say I’ve been romping in Kenya!

Fun story… Dr. Rob & Mrs. Nancy Congdon live in Kijabe right now but are involved in SIM Sudan. The missionaries I stayed with in ’07 were SIM missionaries. So though I’d never met them before this summer I’d heard of them back in ’07. They have 6 boys & 3 of them went with us romping. ☺

This past weekend we went to a place called Sunrise Acres in a little town, Eldamo Ravine. It was like a retreat place for missionaries. They try to be mostly self sustaining so they had a garden, chickens & cows. The lady there made strawberry jam from the garden. They sold eggs & milk. I got to milk a cow!!! I knew you’d be pleased with your little bunny all grown up and milkin’ cows!

I love you!
