I got a chance to sit next to the chief of the Maasai village on the way into town













Justin (brother-in-law) and I with a Francis, a young man studying for ministry













These are the Maasai women that work to make beads to sell so they can buy goats to provide for their children













Holly (mother-in-law) with some of the elementary school kids













I was amazed at how much the Maasai warriors opened up to us this year. They taught us to jump and dance like they do and we did target practice with their sticks, throwing them like spears at trees. They told us stories of how they had to kill lions in a right of passage into manhood













I assisted in a rotten tooth extraction and when the dentist's hand got tired of trying to pull, I got to give a few heaves!!


























We had three days of clinic where Maasai women and their children come for ailments from ring worm to taburculosis. Heidi and I had some medical training, so I was able to do some diagnosing and treatment, but for the most part I worked as a translator. The people spoke only Maasai, so they would tell their problem to a Maasai/Swahili speaker who would tell me, a Swahili/English speaker, then I would relay it to the doctor or nurse.




















This is out whole group, 18 in all. Doctors, Nurses, School Teachers, Students...



























We brought with us 1000 lbs of medical equipment and supplies to give to the Maasai clinic to fill their pharmacy.



























This was one of the worse cases of ring worm. There was a lot of that this year, but for the most part it was respiratory infections and eye irritations from all of the dust in the desert and smoke from the cooking fires inside their homes.



















I have a lot more pictures and will continue to update, but here is a short selection for now. Thank you all for your prayers. King Jesus bless you
