The past 2 months have been wild and wooly and an update is long overdue - so let's get right to it!
The first 2 weeks of February found me in Chimala, Tanzania, East Africa. This was my first time to visit this part of the country and I was surprised at the beauty. Having only been in the northern part of the country I had never seen such greenery before. We even saw gigantic waterfalls. Everywhere was green and beautiful.
We taught 18 students in the Chimala School of Preaching and enjoyed every minute of it. We were impressed with all the work going on there (schools from pre-K - 7th grade, a hospital and clinic that see 20K per year, etc.) It was a great trip all the way around!NOTE: I've always taken old ties from here to give to the students there. A few years ago I began just wearing those ties before I gave them away. The benefits: I don't wrinkle and dirty my ties & I get a kick out of putting together classic combinations like the one in the picture!
On to the family:
Kim has been as busy as ever with pre-school as the year is coming to an end (That's hard to believe!)
Molly is continuing the have a great 7th grade year! She has been on the honor roll every grading period and recently competed on the Future Problems Solvers team (part of the Academic Team). They placed 2nd in the region and 3rd in the district. She also began soccer yesterday.
Kyle is also having a good school year and just finished a long basketball season. His team won the chamionship last night to complete an undefeated season. They never even had a close game! He's shown here sporting his rec specs and his brother's rabbit ears! Speaking of... Blake has had by far the best year in his long and distinguished academic career! He's reading like a pro and has been busy learning his lines and songs for the kindergarten play.
So, all is well here. We think of you all often!
Love,
Keith, Kim, Molly, Kyle, and Blake
