Last night his fever was 101. He proceeded to tell me that the thermometer was broken b/c he felt fine, just a bit weak. This morning he woke up without a fever! First time in about 48 hours! So whatever it was we kicked it with motrin, tylenol, and antibiotics. He's out and about this morning. He called me very excited b/c he met some college kids from Arizona that live right near us and haven't been past Karen into Nairobi. They didn't even know we have a movie theatre! So they are coming for dinner tonight. They probably live 5 minutes from us and work at an orphanage. We don't think they've had real american food in while. So we are excited about cooking a good ol' americano din for them tonight. Chris is so anxious for me to meet them. He said they don't have any outside source of encouragement other than a few nationals. They approached him at a coffee shop in Karen. They asked him if he was a missionary- and the convo advanced from there. I'm excited about possibly seeing if they would be interested in going into Kibera with me sometime. Yay- praise to Lord for new friends in Christ!!
