Coming Back

5/21/2017

Just a quick update to say that instead of the traditional four years overseas and one year back in the US schedule, we are coming back at the end of July for a few months.  We plan to be in the MA/NY area for that fall and then after Thanksgiving, go to NC for the holidays.

So that means a little over two months here at Tenwek before traveling.  We would appreciate prayers as we make plans, make decisions and get ready for traveling.  We would love to catch up with those of you that we can!  If you will be in the Mass and Albany New York area in the fall, send us a note, and as we get more of a schedule we would love to see you.

A few things on our list of things to do, see friends, see family, catch up with supporters, eat american cheese and drink american milk!!  We're looking forward to it!!

BUTTER!!!!

5/6/2017

Due to circumstances beyond our control (nation wide shortage of butter), we are now learning a new skill (making our own from scratch). Our choices were to live without butter, or go with the flow....And we can't live without butter.  

Barb has been making her own butter for years and is a pro.  So she got a few of us together one evening to show us how its done.  On a side note, she also showed us how to get half and half (something I've been missing in my life) and buttermilk out of this process.  Thanks, Barb!

Positive notes:
  • I got to learn from Barb, one of the first missionary nurses here at Tenwek.
  • We used a good ol' food processor instead of the Little House on the Prairie churns.
  • I had lots of help in the kitchen.
  • We can now make butter from the milk we boil everyday for drinking and cooking.
