🦎 The Peter Chameleon Scott Adventures // Log #15
Last summer, we sent our crocheted chameleon, Peter Chameleon Scott, with the Kimmel family to Africa. They took Peter with them as they journeyed through airports and on airplanes, finally arriving in Nairobi, Kenya and beginning Africa-based Orientation (ABO).
After learning about language, culture, missions, and more at ABO, Peter continued his journey up into the clouds with Pilot Ken. He got to see Mount Kenya and help fly a team from the Africa Inland Church (AIC) to northern Kenya for a medical conference. He also studied wiring plans at Wilson Airport in the AIM AIR hangar with Daniel, and traveled with Stephanie to where his namesake, Peter Cameron Scott, founder of Africa Inland Mission, lived in Kalamba.
And, of course, he went to Java House!
From there, Peter went to school at Rift Valley Academy. He learned about world history in Mr. Tustin's class, as well as played the keyboard in the chapel and tried his paws at drumming. He helped put up the family's Christmas tree ornaments and see the beautiful wing display created by the Titchie school (elementary students).
After RVA, Peter helped Crystal in South Sudan plan a Bible study lesson and journeyed with her as she made a stop by our office in Uganda, getting a glimpse of the lush beauty found there -- as well as the amazing jackfruits!
Love B. welcomed Peter into her home among the Laarim in South Sudan, where he got to spend some of the holidays. Believers put up the final wall of their church while he was there, which was an exciting thing to be part of! With Andrea among the Lopit of South Sudan, he slowed down, helped with laundry, attended Bible study, and enjoyed living in the village. Lopit children even discovered another chameleon just like Peter in their favorite book!
Peter Chameleon Scott has done quite a lot of traveling within his first year on the African continent. To see all of the adventures above and more, click on our 🦎 chameleon highlight on our profile. We're excited to share what new adventures he'll embark on next! ✈️
