Kurungu Nomadic Conference

Here is the whole party!

A few trinkets...

This is what we looked like after the long drive to Kurungu!

5 hrs of 4x4 driving gets us to Kurungu (AIM station) and there we met with 30 or so other missionaries from the northern part of Kenya for a conference/prayer time about reaching nomadic peoples.  It was amazing for me to just sit and listen to their stories, ideas, life lessons, trial and error successes and failures and their visions and dreams for the future of nomadic ministry. Being the youngest one there (besides the kids) I felt that I had little to contribute, but it was very encouraging to be around such admirable people.  Plus there was the added bonus of a baby dik dik, a chance to go sand boarding and one night of ice cream!

Kyle and the baby dik dik!  SO very cute! (Kyle is cute as well!)

Alisia feeding little Ellie... I assure you Aunty Joyce that dik diks are slightly smarter than deer! They make GREAT pets!

After finally making up sand hill we went in search of the very top! Beautiful!

Sand Hill. As you climb up it grows taller and taller!

A Samburu guy saw us having fun so he came to join in! After practically jogging up the hill he made the ride down at top speed two times without crashing!  I got a video but can't seem to load it onto the blog so sorry.

Monica (lives at Kurungu with her husband Walter and their 3 kids) had a fantastic crash!
