This week it’s Kairu’s turn!
- It’s been great having Kairu live with us this year. He brings a very happy atmosphere to our home!
- He is the youngest of five brothers and he has been going to UIS (Ukarumpa International School) since he was in kindergarten. His parents are from two different language groups. His dad is a dentist and his mom grows produce to sell at the market
- Kairu is quite the artist and was asked to design the senior hoodies this year!
- He loves playing the guitar and helps lead the youth worship times.
- He played volleyball as the libero (defensive specialist) and will play goalie for the soccer team this next term.
- Besides all that, Kairu often rides his motorbike with friends, cleans water tanks with Joey, and works at the teen-run Hamburger Nights as the “buyer” (orders ingredients from the store and goes to the produce market).
It’s wonderful to see him following God. Please pray for him as he decides what to do after high school.
On a side note, continue to pray for John as he has one more week left in the Solomons. Thanks!

What a bunch of good Christian artistic stallions! Those are the guys that can take over the world – in a good way. Jesus ain’t no wimp and neither should we be! Thanks for sending. This is good juice for my jump (Malachi 4:2). Hope all is well!

Hello, dear Brena,
How are you doing without John around?
It is so hot here that we are having trouble sleeping at night. :( Just a few more weeks until it should start to cool down a bitâ¦
Love,

Hey, dear Lorina! So sorry it’s so hot. I so well remember from our Solomons days. :( Not fun. We’ve been in a drought here, but it’s actually rained the last couple of days. Hopefully it will continue! We’re doing ok without John, although we miss him. Only a week left! :) Love you.

Good Morning, Brena, Carolyn and I are thoroughly enjoying the write-ups on each of your family!!! It’s a stroke of inspiration to give those of us too far away to personally know individuals a chance to begin knowing them. Thank you.

Fun to read this letter and learn more about the young man who has been part of your family now for some time. He sounds like a great guy! Maybe we’ll have the privilege to meet him one day. WE’re praying for John in the Solomons and for you and the boys in his absence. Keep up the good work. We love you!

What a blessing he is and you all are to him! Yes, we will continue to pray for him. We are praying for John as well and trust he and the others there are making good connections with the nationals as we see God’s Word being translated.

Dear Kairu, it was good to get to know you better through Brena’s letter! God has given you many talents – you will do well in the future.
the Sr. Hoodies are really good! I think other small schools would be interested in your design idea.
