last day in the Ngong hills

"Lord Jesus Christ, Master Carpenter of Nazareth, who on the cross in wood and nails has worked my full salvation, use well Your tools in this Your workshop that I who come to You rough hewn may by Your Grace be fashioned to a truer beauty and usefulness in Your service. Amen." - Prayer attributed to St. Basil of Caesarea, via Lord Cary of Clifton, 103rd Archbishop of Canterbury

Yesterday morning when we were running, Jason and I met Julius who is a very talented runner (in the blue shirt). In the afternoon, we got to visit his training camp and hear more of his story.  He works for the police department but has been given several months of leave to train for a marathon in Australia. What a gift to meet him and some of his training partners here in Ngong (which is one of the places runners come to train because of the elevation.)

We are about to board a bus to go to the airport to fly to Lodwar.
We can hardly wait for our Kenyan family reunion there this afternoon!
