Rain, Pain and Prayers!

Solomon emailed today with an update.

LLM Home in Kenya - August 2010 - taken by Eric Cressman

The rains have started about a week ago ... which is a good thing because they are planting a garden now. They've already planted a large patch of potatoes. They hope to plant lima beans, spinach, cabbage, tomatoes and carrots soon.

They've also faced a few challenges lately. 

A few of the children have been struggling with high fevers ... due to malaria and flu. Even on mediation, it's taken them awhile to recover. Please pray for their health.

Last week, their brand-new generator broke and wouldn't start. The service guys couldn't find the problem, but were able to start it manually by cranking. They will use it like that until an electrician can be brought in to fix it. Plus the water from the well had been crystal clear, but now it isn't anymore and has an odor, so Solomon asks for prayers for those items. 

Thanks to many of you, fourteen of the children have sponsors! There are about six children that need sponsors yet. Brian is one that I have a picture of ... I'm waiting for pictures of the others. 

Brian - age 8
