Monday night,
Flexibility is what you learn on a mission trip. On Saturday, we attended Pastor Hesborne’s brother's funeral. We went at about 12:45 and left about 2:30. What impressed me most was there was about 300 people who were there. Keep in mind this funeral lasted all day! They are really devoted to each other. The day was very hot about 95 or better and all were dressed in Sunday clothes. They had put up 3 tents and rented chairs. That’s enough about that…
Earlier in the day on Saturday, we took a ride to the equator and took some snaps (Kenya word for photos)!
We also visited a workshop that employees the homeless and orphans and teaches them talents they never knew they had. The amazing thing is they use recycled trash to make these things. We all purchase a few souvenirs there.
Sunday was a big day. We decided to teach and preach all in the same day since we missed our teaching day on Saturday. So JoAnne taught in the morning and Pastor Steve preached the Sunday sermon and then we had tea and then I taught in the afternoon along with Chris and Jason. It was an awesome day but also very hot, high 90’s. We had more women than any time I have visited here. It was a busy day. Our messages from God were well received and even though we were tired, it was a good tired. I believe we all retired early last evening. I missed dinner because I ordered my fish fried and they brought it to me whole – tail and head with eyes and all! I asked them to cut the head off and they did, but I still was not hungry after that! Seriously most of the food we have had is very good. I have not gone hungry for sure!
Today was a sad day as I had to tell all my friends goodbye. Little Betsy is healthy and looking beautiful. She still is afraid of me and screams when I look at her. Millicent, Vivian, Pastor Hesborne, Sally, Pastor Dominic, Pastor Patrick, Pastor David and all are doing very well.
Our lessons today were received very well and I could feel the presence of God as we spoke. I taught on the Full Armor of God from Eph. 6. It was amazing! JoAnne taught on Psalm 23 and they really enjoyed that as well.
Tomorrow we will be travelling again to the Masa Mara and will do a little site seeing of the wonderful animals of Africa.
We will be leaving Thursday. Please continue to pray for our safety. God has been so good to us to keep us well and safe. Amen!
Love, Betsy
