Happy New Year 2010



This new year will see the new house project finished and in good use. These are the masons putting on the hardcast ( stucko type finish ). We are very anxious to have the house finished we will definately appreciate the room it will give all our growing family and the opportunity to bring in more

.


As you can see we need it! Our existing dinning room is getting quite small for everyone. Here we are missing 3 children and Dannon, Horace and myself.




Here is an inside shot down the east hall toward Troy's and the children's bedrooms and baths. The inside plastering are all done but we must wait 30 days until we can paint.




Looking out from the kitchen into the dinning on the left and the sitting on the right.




West wall of the sitting into the dinning. During drying time Horace will place cabnets and plumming and electric.




The end of the house with just the plaster and bands on.




The back of the house with just plaster and bands. This is before the hard cast.




This is the house with all the hard cast ( stucko type finish ) the dye is a forest shade of green. As soon as the house is fully dried the bands and around the windows will be a dark glossy grean and the window sills will be white. It will look so well!



We decided that the weather was warm enough for our 1st swim day! Some could not wait until the pool was ready!




Swimming Day! We found out though that we have to watch how quickly they get cooled off! We had a couple get scarry cold before we got them changed and warmed up agin. The hot sun can fool you into thinking the air is hot also and at times it can be down right cool.




They were so qute in their swim cloths!




Dad Horace's new project for the children! A great addition for our small back play yard.




Having fun on their new slide!




When we were warned the city might being rationing water Horace set up a tank system to catch rain water!



Troy going in to help Dad with his tank project! Horace had the girls help put the spouts in, to get the water out.




Troy coming out!




Dannon as Dad's tank helper! The rains did come late but they filled all three of these tanks and probubly would have filled three more.


We are so looking forward to this bright new year! Many things that have been in the building process will be complete and ready to serve the purposes that God has set in motion for Tumaini Children's Center. Thank's to all who have prayed and shared that we might see accomplished what God has in His heart for all of us here. May God rain his blessings down for everyone concered. Keep us in your prayers and stay connected our dear family. Love the Leister's in Kenya

Holidays in Kenya!

Hi all our loved ones in the states! We are still very on and off with the internet. We just today changed to a new service, prayfully it will help our concistancy. We have now had 3 birthdays and Thanksgiving in Kenya. Marvin's, Myself andd Troy's we had people from 9:30am to 10:30pm ,it was a great day' On Thanksgiving we were invited to the Church of Christ,Discipleship Colege, to have lunch with all the foreign missionaries. That means that everyone was white excet the 2 wemon whom we have met who are married to Americans. It was very odd for us at first because we had not seen a group of whites the whole time we have been here. There were about 50 of us counting children, the children we have never seen in town. There were some from America, Germany, Switzerland and France. The Europieans do not celebrate Thanksgiving obviously but they like to socilize with other white foke. It was a very nice day and the food was great! They invited us to a missions prayer time eac

A Miracle Month!

Wow, what a month February has been! I think I will declare the unconditional love of God and His favor at the beginning of every month! We have had so many testimonies to God's miracles around us! So I am releasing the Spirit of Prophesy in proclaiming the testimony of Jesus! We have a new housekeeper ( described as house help here in Kenya) she has worked for us around 3 months. Her and her husband pastor a church in one of the slum areas,Heruma. This area was one of the areas most hit by the violence last year. Many sad stories, many women and children left abandoned because of a dead or just missing husband. Bea and Francis minister to these families! They are good people and good workers too, Francis has been working on the new house with Horace. While working in our kitchen Bea noticed that we had a super surplus of 500ml tins with lids. These tins are what the babies formula comes in and we go through about 5 a week. We have used as many as we could for storing different thi

Hello blog family! We are truly here! We have been very buisy getting things in order here at our new home. We set up a new internet system, this does not change our address or anything just how we operate from here. It has been quite a month. We have had a visit from Romanian friends that was just wonderful. We can not wait until they come again. They shared their love for chidlren with those we have here and encouraged us so much with their love for all of us and kenya. Thom Seagren & Dean Miller arrived on the 19th of Sept. and left on the 24th. They were able to check out the new house and work on long term planning. We saw the vision we all have for the orphaned children here in kenya come to life on this property and expand to future plans for the Jui Kali propery, it was a exciting time. Besides the fact that we just enjoyed haveing their company around our home. They got to meet and know the children we now have and to even visit chidlren we are looking at bringing to this
