It has been wonderful to see all the yellow daffodils and the trees with pink
and white blossoms - and green grass and the leaves just starting to come out.
 
The Mission Team at Noroton Presbyterian Church
in Darien, Connecticut met with Bob Chedester, who is one of the missionaries
that the church supports. He and his wife Jennifer have been at Rift Valley Academy in Kenya for the past 8 years, and they
served in Uganda for 13 years before that. They and two of their five adopted children will return to Kenya in August, after
spending a one year sabbatical at their home in Pennsylvania.

Three of our Kenya friends met at Brendan's 101 in Rowayton for lunch. They are from Meru where we have lived each summer for the
past ten years. One has built a home for her mother in Meru, and the other is a cousin of the Catholic Bishop of the
Meru Diocese. Her daughter has been accepted to study nursing at Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven.

We enjoyed Easter Sunday dinner with John’s daughter and a friend from Darien, and eight others from further away. They
included a young family from West Haven with their two beautiful daughters and their grandma, a music teacher from Greenwich,
another teacher from Nairobi, and a mother from Kansas, who home schools her daughter.

On Good Friday, we discovered The St. John's Bible at
St. Luke’s Church in Darien, Connecticut. It is the first illuminated, handwritten
Bible in more than 500 years, and it is a truly beautiful work of sacred art. It was commissioned by Saint John’s Abbey and University
in Collegeville, Minnesota, where Marilyn’s maternal grandmother married, and where her great grandparents are buried.

Please pray with us – There is no greater love than the love of Jesus. There’s no love that’s stronger, that lasts longer, that’s more soul-satisfying, more pure and undying. There’s no love more caring, more sharing, more daring to risk all in danger for sinner and stranger. There’s no love more vast, more validating, more victorious or more glorious. ~DaySpring |
