PASTOR MESHACK HABIB, TEHILAH (MEANS PRAISE GOD-HEBREW), KATE HABIB
Each week day the office staff of the Baby Centre and any visitors begin at 8:30 am with prayers. A devotional is read by someone, and then we share prayer requests and praises before prayer. Again, Jeremy went with Meshack to the IDP Camp to check on the progress of the water tank installation. Since the center of the foundation is wet concrete, it dries slower than the exterior. Water is poured on the top to keep it moist so that it won’t crack before the center is dry. It will probably be about a week before the concrete is dry enough to position the water tank on top. We held and played with the babies and toddlers at the beginning of the day. Again, our electrical service has been spasmodic. Most of the day we will have no electricity due to scheduled repairs. Thankfully, our electric ovens are topped with gas burners for food preparation. Mwangi has adjusted the work day to tasks not requiring electricity. We began painting the bright colors of red, yellow, green, and blue on the inside of the play area boards. Pastor Meshack Habib and Kate, his wife who is the Baby Centre accountant, have invited the entire team to their apartment for supper. There were nineteen present for a Kenyan meal. Just as we all arrived and were about to be served, the electricity went off again. We ate by candlelight. This afternoon, baby number fifty arrived. A police station on the far side of Nakuru called asking Staci to come to get a boy. It is estimated that he, who was well dressed in T-shirt, collared shirt, and shiny two piece suit is a lost, but not abandoned child. Judging by size and limited vocabulary, he is about two or two and half years old. Police stations do not have telephones other than individual cell phones. There is no interconnecting computer system. The boy was kept with Staci's family and Pastor Meshack's family for observation and conversation (very limited) to try to gain information from him. Staci will go to the police station of report tomorrow to determine if anyone has reported the boy missing. Shortly after a cold shower and going to bed the electricity came back on.
