Well I just wanted to let you know that Margaret the lady I meet at the craft show last week came to see me today and we spent most of the day practicing and learning how to make paper beads I hope to be able to post a few photos soon of our end result and learning process....Since I am still recovering from a broken femur it was quite a bit to sit at the table most of the day so now I am resting but feel confident that I have absorbed enough information to be able to teach the skill in Sudan when I go back to help give the women there a way of making something with mostly local and very inexpensive materials....I will practice some more over the few weeks and hope to have some great tings to share:)
I did also attend The Vineyard Church in Nairobi on Sunday which I enjoyed very much! Mostly local missionaries and some other local people it was a great time of fellowship and worship of which I have missed. It happen to also be the birthday of one of the missionaries that I am staying with and so we went out for a nice lunch it was really a very good day. I managed on crutches to this point but became very tired and so for our next stop purchasing supplies for today I needed the wheelchair. I actually think I am doing pretty well since it's only 1 week today from my surgery. I am having some cabin fever and I am really looking forward to having more energy and being able to get around much better! I hope that when I get back to Sudan I will be a good asset to the team coming at the end of December and not an extra weight....So for now I am just trying to make use of my recovery through prayer, study, and learning as much as I can and just resting as I promised the doctor I would:)
Please continue to pray for quick and complete healing and blessings for all the people that have helped me along the way.
That the Lord will continue to work on me in every way to make me what he wants that I will be open and sensitive to His leading on everything!
As Always in His Service-

Michael,
I've been thinking about you every day. I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. If anyone can handle it...I know it's you! You're such a positive person...and I'm so proud of you for everything you do and everything you've been able to endure.
We just finished Thanksgiving here...and we're on to the Christmas holidays. I really miss seeing your smiling face at work! Everyone that comes in asks about you and wishes you all the best.
Tom and I think about you everyday...and he asks every day if I've heard anything.
Just know we all have you in our prayers for a speedy recovery and miss you tons.
Hugs and Kisses,
Carol
I'm so happy you are learning how to make the paper beads! Only God knows why all this happened and you had this unexpected detour to Kenya. In His infinite wisdom He has brought you here and will teach you and guide you into all He has purposed. We think of you often and hope to see you when you return to Kijabe for a visit with Bob. Praying for your continued recovery and for peace as you encounter God here in Kenya. With love, Julie Mendonsa

Michael, paper beads!!! I have some and I love them. It is so exciting that you're learning to make them!
I watched Mike Congrove's kids last night and we had a great time talking about how the Lord is meeting you where you are, providing people to love you, serve you, and pull you in as part of the family.
I'm praying for your healing and that you'll be ready for the upcoming return to Sudan!

oh my sweet michael,
I am so sorry i didn't here about your adventures until now. somewhere along the way i fell out of the loop. but i am back and reading through all of your latest days - i am so encouraged. I hope that the recoup time is so so blessed and God can really minister to your heart and get you all fueld up. maybe it's like paul's time at malta... resting up for something BIG!
