My young friend, Alvin has graduated today with his Bachelor in Engineering. He is hoping to do his Master's Degree in approximately one year but first he needs a job and to save some money.
That is Alvin on the left and Nathan on the right. Alvin is my friend. |
I met Alvin a few years ago when the choir he is in (Kenyan Boys Choir) were in the city.

My elderly "grandma" is still in hospital. She has been back and forth between the Intensive Care Unit and the private ward at the mission hospital where she lives. She has pneumonia which she contracted while in hospital being treated for a bacterial infection.
She is a strong woman but she is very old and it is hard to recover.
I continue to pray for her recovery.

In sad news, a friend's uncle, Kipkoness has succumbed to heart problems and passed on.
I met him on my very first trip to Kenya. I am sorry I will not have a chance to meet him again when I return next to Kenya.

I'm keeping very busy getting parcels and cards out in the mail in preparation for Christmas. Next up will be wrapping the presents for family members. I also had to go to the eye specialist for laser surgery this week. Some of you remember I had cataract surgery but scar tissue grew rapidly due to healthy eyes and needs to be removed. One eye was done yesterday. The other will be done in a month.
I'm breaking up all the errands with one of the things I like best, the opera. I have several performances to attend. I wrote about one of them a few days ago.
I said I would be reporting on a special event. That will be posted in a day or two.
Thanks for joining me here.
I'll be sure to visit you if you let me know you were here.
