A Baby and Baptisms




Always a lot happening around Made in the Streets.  A few months ago Phyllis Wambui, whom the dentist says is either 14 or 15, came to Kamulu to live with us.  She tested negative for pregnancy, but after a few months she was obviously showing.  The next test revealed the baby!  And now she has given birth to Taylor at 3.4 kg (7.5 lbs) and healthy.  They came home yesterday and moved into the Moms' House.  All of us are happy to have the baby. And we have lots of Moms to help Phyllis learn how to care for Taylor.  It used to be only Darlene.  Now there is Eliza, Jane, Hellen, Millie, Mauryn, Angela, Tira and others!!!

Anton very happy after baptism!
Sunday we had six baptisms at Kamulu.  Anton (a driver for the Kenya Widows and Orphans program) and his wife were baptized after they studied with Tim Neale from Golf Course Road Church in Midland, Texas.  And four of our students.  Catherine, from the sewing program, is one of the smartest teens we have had here.  Damaris had a hard start in life, did not know ABC when she came and struggled with fainting spells, but has come a long, long way.  Rashid is a polite and smiling young man. And Naomi has come through times of temptation so very well. We are proud of these young people and happy for their decision.
Damaris is baptized!
