Ok, sitting with Hugh yesterday and helping him type his "blog" sure took the patience of Job, which I do not have. As painful as it was for me to endure an hour of his, "Let me do it! I can do it!" wiggleworm self, the mission was eventually accomplished. He was determined to get to "type on the computer like Wallace and Glenn." It's a wonder I'm even willing to sit in front of this computer screen again!
On another note, we've certainly started "fitting in." The kids have a routine now, play, play and play some more, and Scottie is taking call nights much like at home. I have been plugged into the job of "redecorating" missionary homes, though minimal effort is truly required on my part. It started because the long term family we've connected with, (The Galats - Dan, Heather, Jeramiah, Emma, Claire and Levi) are moving into a different home and hope to be in it next week. From there, we've gone around "redoing" many of the short term apartments, ours included, on a shoestring budget. Anyway, It's fun and I'm glad I can find a way to help. Scottie attends a Men's Bible Study on Wednesday nights and I attend a Women's group on Tuesdays. A new family arrived yesterday from Portland, and the family from AZ, (The Brauns), left last week. The "shifting" of help varies from month to month and is greatly needed, but to know that this community is blessed with folks who commit to long-term is an amazing thing to witness.
We are heading out on Friday for the Masaii Safari Club for the weekend, and will be there for the 4th. Believe it or not, they are having a Fourth of July celebration here! The missionary families are planning a "field day" of sorts, with hamburgers, popsicles and sparklers. It sounds like fun, and I'm sorry we will miss it. We will also be missing the celebrations back home, which is the hardest part of being separated from family and friends. We look forward to our return on July 13th and to the many fun summer activities that lie ahead for the remainder of vacation. Though we miss all of you, we are truly enjoying ourselves and are open to whatever God asks of us next. Keep the prayers coming and love to all. Ave

Cameron family. I work in CFV NICU and I truly look forward to reading your blog and the experiences you have had and the the kids blogs were heartwarming to read. Even though I only know Dr. Cameron I have enjoyed reading about the whole family. May the Lord bless all of you for stepping out in faith and going out to the world and doing the Lord's work.
