The lovely Teacher Nancy. I know most of you girls are jealouse you can't make your hair look like this on a daily basis. We call this "bush hair", as in "Some of those in Africa live 'in the bush'".

John's still workin on the avacodo business. We've made a 12,000Ksh profit so far! We're still waiting to collect the 5 grand that one of the workers ran off with, but the police are on the trail and we're still prayin. Nonetheless, John was actually able to pay the rent for AMCC this month!!!! Bwana asufiwe! (Praise God) He's also paid for medical bills for two of the kids and for Nancy to get one of her teeth pulled (ouch!) So AMCC is on their way! We even hoping to be able to collect money from various doners for more trucks and workers. John's feeling confident that AMCC can make some money for the future. He's also promised to put enough of the money into a "Deposit Only Account" so next year in May, they'll be able to do start right up again! This project is cemi-self-sustaining, because it only last for about 10 weeks. We're hoping we can go through the end of the year with the profits we'll make.

The Assistant Chief stopped by to give the kids a word of wisdom. Fortunately his office is next door to us, which allows AMCC to be a bit safer. I'm really thankful that John's got such a good relationship with him. This night he actually talked to the kids about sex! Talk about a surprise! I didn't know they talked about such things. Honestly though, he talked to the girls about not believing the lies of older boys. The week before, a freshman girl had dropped out of school, slept with a young man who told her that he owned what was actually his grandfather's estate, and had become pregnant. Now she's gonna have rough life and repeat the cycle of madness of her parents. He also encouraged the boys to stay in school and reminded them that there was a time for everything. He made sure they knew that school and marriage were for two different times.

John is becoming quite the barber. The first night he started, he shaved two and half kids' heads with the battery charged clippers before it went dead. The next night he shaved, he made it through 3 and a half, and this morning he did 5 kids! What a pro! These clippers are awesome by the way! Thank you guys sooo much for sending them! So far we're gonna save like 400Ksh! (haha, or rather not spend the 400Ksh we don't have)

Micah and Betsy came to K-ville (Kimata)! I can't tell you how pumped I was to invite them in to AMCC, not to mention John and Nancy. You know, Micah is the one who developed the AMCC official website. I haven't posted it yet cause it needs to be updated... I'm wanna wait to Micah has a chance to do so. We had a blast together even though it was for less than 36 hours. They are here working for the 1010 Project, who give small business grants to struggling Kenyan Christian organizations. So if you know of any, tell Micah and Betsy about it.;) It was truly a blessing to see some other Americans around who are dear to my heart! Thanks guys!

One last thing before I go. John was asked to be on the Red Cross committee for the Kadara region, which includes where AMCC is. So wherever Red Cross has potential to be involved, John is one of those on the chief decision-making team. Here's a picture a couple of those who were in charge during their training day. They took a 5-day training and crammed it into one! That's heavy stuff! I'm just glad to know that now John knows CPR.

There's some other really awesome things that God's got brewin for AMCC that have to do with some churches in another part of the world. BUT, unfortuntately I'm out of time today. So till then... Cheerio! ;)
