We had ladies meeting this morning at church. It went really well. It was led by the 13 girls from the BJU team. Even with a wonderful morning/afternoon I’ve been sort of melancholy all day. I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that one thing that will typically cheer me up is cooking or baking. I began homemade Ezekiel bread last evening and allowed it to ferment overnight. This afternoon I came home to finish making the bread. I actually have never made bread before so I went to the store to buy 2 bread pans. When I returned home I turned the oven on, cleaned the pans, and proceeded to transfer the risen dough to their respective pans. As I was transferring dough the electricity shut off. Such is life in Kenya! Happily while I’ve been typing this the electricity has now turned back on. :-) I’ll let you know if my attempt at baking bread was a flop or success. I’ve made homemade biscuits here and they’ve turned out fantastic so I have to admit that I will probably be disappointed if they don’t turn out well. That doesn't mean I won't try again though.
As I’ve been typing I hear the children in my apartment playing. When I came back from the States my housemate told me that the children would knock on our front door and run away. She said it took her a few times before she realized it was them. Oopsie! I probably should have told her before I left that they sometimes do that. I usually open the door and call out to them with a smile in my voice. They typically respond from their hiding places with giggles.
