Well the World Cup is over, siiigh. If I can teach the team to pass like Spain then it'll all have been worth it. I know watching the games was the inspiration the kids could have had to try their best and keep playing football.
After two good practices in the week on Saturday after Streets Cup games we had a chance to watch a local adult club team play a team from Nairobi that has produced a couple big name players in current Kenyan football. It was fun to see what some of the kids will start looking like once they start hitting their growth spurts. Hopefully I will have taught them the fundamentals before they grow completely.
Besides a scare with the field we use (a local school's whose headmaster was being difficult) things are good here. The only thing I could really complain about is this blog. Last time I checked there were only a couple followers. If you ever read this update click you are a follower so I know I'm not just talking to myself.
Next week I promise to add more pictures. I also plan to start putting up profiles of some of the kids so you can get to know them too. Talk to you then

Hey buddy, I thought I had signed up as a follower the last time I was on the site, but when I came back just now I was not listed. So I signed up once again. Mom also thought she had signed up but she still isn't listed. Maybe that's happened to others. But hopefully this second attempt will stick. Dad
ReplyDeleteHi zeb, I thought I had signed up as a follower but somehow we do not show up. Just know that we are keeping up with you and proud of what you are doing
ReplyDeleteMamere and jack
the "followers" thing is not a real representation of who is actually reading your blog. there are a bunch of different sites out there that can help you get that sort of info. for instance if you look at mine and Leslie's blog you notice on the right hand side we use "sitemeter" so it shows us how many "page visits" and "views" we get each day or each week, etc. you can also use google analytics.
ReplyDeleteHi Zeb,
ReplyDeleteSince you do not know me, I will introduce myself. My name is Fred Stockinger. I am a retired surgeon living in Naples, FL. Several years ago our family had the priviledge of hosting your mother and father during a missionary convention at our church. We have kept in touch with your father specifically, but your family in general since that time. We pray for them constantly and will add you and your ministry to our work. I was in Kenya some years ago with the Christian Medical and Dental Society doing some teaching to regional national and missionary physicians so am a bit familiar with the area. Will follow you on your blog. In Christ, Fred
