Hello Everybody,
Yes we are still alive and well in Kenya! For the last week or so things have been a little busy and our faithful internet cafe has been "down." So now, thanks to the grace of our friends Nate and Jill we are on their computer to check email etc... Since we last checked in we have been to:
1. A 5 hour good friday service
2. A wedding which started 3 hours late
3. The Kenya Revenue Authority multiple times
4. The Langata Giraffe Center
5. Some Home Group meetings
6. Our semi-completed house
7. A major market (haggling included)
8. Many more language lessons
Hopefully we'll soon have time to comment on all these things, but for now, rest assured that things are going well. A major joy has been our re-learned ability to cook well. Recent dishes have included sweet and sour chicken and lentils, homemade bread, chili, brownies, fried rice, and more brownies (we now have 5 boxes in our pantry). Keep praying for rain, as Maasailand has continued to struggle through drought with many people living on next to nothing. Pictures and stories to come soon!
For the next three years we will be working for Mennonite Central Committee in Najile, Kenya. We will be collaborating with the Maasai people in developing food security (which means working to limit vulnerability to famine due to drought) and HIV/AIDS prevention and support for those affected by the disease. Steph has also started teaching again in the local primary school. Join us as we continue the adventure of following Christ around the world.
MAASAI PROVERB
"Menya EnkAi enanya tungani"
God doesn't eat the way people eat.
Meaning:
God's ways are higher than our ways.
God doesn't eat the way people eat.
Meaning:
God's ways are higher than our ways.
Keep up on what's happening!
Where in the World Are the Kistlers
Now we know where we are!

It sounds like you guys are keeping very busy-there's lots to do and plenty to learn! Steph, I just wanted to touch base with you-I miss you at AGI! Hope that all continues to go well...and that it will rain soon! The weather here is up and down-warm this weekend in the 70s but going down to high 40s and rain the next two days! Enjoy your days and keep the journals going! Kathy Mantell
