Kakamega

We made it to Kakamega! I must tell you about Nakuru first... Well, I LOVE Nakuru. Getting from Nairobi to Nakuru was a pretty bumpy road! Although I did get to see my first Zebra (and Keshia, I took a picture just for you!) we got in a traffic jam and then got a flat tire. So it took us about 4 hours to get there.

Ivan, Mary and their daughters Racheal and Sarah run the baby orphanage. They are so excited to have guest at any time. They are just the most caring and fun people I’ve met on this trip so far. It gets pretty loud at the orphanage considering it’s a huge orphanage with 27 little ones. So far Lucy and Joshua are my favorite little ones there. :)

On Tuesday we had the Day of the African Child. It was a lot of fun! First we had to go to the park to wait for the trucks to arrive. During this time we met some street kids which was eye opening and rather scary at the same time. They all had their glue bottles which makes them not at hungry. Pretty crazy…

Anyway, we did make it to Kakamega! Whoo Whoo! It took a while, but we did in fact make it. Please keep TJ and me in your prayers, It’s the first time we’ve had to have mosquito nets and bug spray at all times. Plus when I went to go take a shower, apparently it’s not working so the house keeper brought us a bucket of hot water. This could be an interesting 10 days.

Well, that’s all I can think of right now. TJ has been taking care of me! I am a little sick with a sore throat. Maybe I shouldn’t mention that though. :) Loves!

Glad to hear you enjoyed Nukuru, hope your sore throat didn't turn into something major! I would have you taking zinc at the get go! Father's Jerry's last Sunday today; he talked about the gifts we all have and need to share. Your gift is love, and I think you found a great way to share it! Katie misses you but was mad when she found her volleyball shirt missing. Any clues to that?:) I send a prayer out to you every night, and a lot during the day! I hope TJ is doing well and wish him well from us for success with the soccer camps. Hugs and kisses to you both, we love you! mom and dad

kylee:: in Joshua 1:9 it says "Be strong, and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." this is just a simple reminder to you when you are scared and feel alone, though you are surrounded by loving kids, just remember God is with you & he will never leave your side. I'm so proud of you and the work you are doing. i think of you all the time and pray for you many times through out the day. i wish i was with you right now, but my time will come.
today was john's last day and it was extremely sad. tonight there will be a farewell to the gaulke family. it's just so hard for me to imagine them gone. there's going to be a special guest tonight at the party and word around town it may be Michael McNamee! how amazing will that be? i will definitely share with him about you. well its not certain if its him or not. but anyways im rambling. i love you & miss you like crazy<3

It is also better to tell the doctor especially penile conditions like scarring, angulations, fibrosis, history of painful and prolonged erection.

Proper precaution is also recommended to the elderly users, as they may be more sensitive to the adverse effects of the drugs.

If you had any of the above condition, the doctor might adjust the dose or take special test if you are safe to take the drug.
