Is Mothers Day Really This Week?

Well for the last two weeks, I thought Mothers Day was last week, the first of May. But apparently my mothers day doesn't match with the actual day. It's to bad because today is a really sad day as Chelsea lost their hopes of winning a trophy this season, and Nairobi City Stars had a chance to move up to the tenth place, but instead lost to the last place team. It just wasn't a good football day.

But besides all of that, since I last posted an article about how I was doing, I have managed to get "African Tick Bite Fever" along with working crazy weeks, have very little rest time. Yes, the tick bite thing has been an ongoing question of how can you acquire such a fever and all I have to say is that one night I went back to sleeping in my bedroom and I wake up itching and red marks all over my body. So I went to a clinic and that's how they diagnosed me and told me to go bomb my mattress and wooden bunk bed. I still have yet to do those things.

The Petra Boys Academy is off to the races. We are actually getting a lot of publicity lately and people continue asking us what our program is. God is so good in the sense that we were able to put together a whole youth system and start it this month with all of these journalists and potential sponsors now getting interested in what we are doing. This month, International Christian Center, the church we're partnered with, has opened several job opportunities for our boys to make some money and so we don't have to keep paying their fare to and from training.

So that is what I have been working on and why I haven't been able to post something in a while. I will say that this Tuesday marks mine and Olivia's one year anniversary and we are so excited about that because it means that we are one day closer to seeing each other and also another month into this relationship. My sister also graduated from Covenant College yesterday and even though I wasn't able to attend, I still felt like I was part of the celebration. I am so proud of my sis and cannot wait to see where she will be by the time I come home for Christmas. Man how time flies.

Well that's what I've got for now. I'll try to do a better job at updating this. Keep on pressing on to the win the prize and seriously, never give up. If there's anything I'm taking away from this experience its that. No matter how hard the job might be, how hard long distance is, how hard life is with tick bite fever, whatever, never give up cause He's given you everything you need to get through it. Love you all.
