The construction will be complete in about a week. They were putting the windows in while we were there and had just finished mounting the solar panels and installing the electrical stuff.  Some of the kids that walked to Meto for the youth conference stayed in the library for a few days. Soon the kids will have a safe, well lit place to study and learn.

Proof….

Amazing!

We were able to get Internet today for a few minutes. So here is a quick update.

God is moving like crazy in Meto!

• The library is better than we could have imagined and it’s very close to completion. We’ll have lots of pictures when we come back.
• This area of Kenya is in a major drought, but there has been some rain recently. This past July the land was very dry with almost no vegetation and now there is some green starting to show. The people in Meto that lost most of their herds during the drought can now move their herds back to Meto. Lots of the people that got seeds from us in February are planting it now – they kept it waiting for rain…
• The local church has doubled in size since we opened the well in July. Lots of the local women come up to us to say thank you over and over again. It hit us that really they are the ones benefiting from the well, because they don’t have to walk 20 miles every day anymore to get some water!
• Meto is hosting a youth conference starting tonight. Moses is expecting 400 kids and teens to come. Pretty amazing. Please pray that the youth attending the conference will experience God in an incredible way.
• Everyone on the team is healthy and a little tired:)

We will try to post more pictures (and possibly video) soon.

Peace!
E, H, A and M Hicks

It takes a really really long time to get to Nairobi! I was going to take 4 more pictures of us last night but you can just imagine what we looked like. We arrived at 11ish last night and got some sleep at the hotel. We drive to Meto, Kenya this morning and will be there for the next 6 days. Keep an eye out for an update on Saturday.
