Today’s update.
Arrived safely in Kisumu today about 12:30. Really hot here and higher humidity. Glad to be on our next phase of our mission trip, however, our hearts are still back at the Legacy School and the Maasia Tribe. What an awesome experience. We have some wonderful pictures and videos. I really want you to see JoAnne dancing with the Maasia women, in fact, we both were praising God. Her last talk, she mentioned that she just wanted to read Psalm 150 about praising God and that was all it took!
These women were so gracious and even invited us into their huts – which by the way, were built by the women. I wondered why the huts were flat on top and so short. I actually had to bend down to enter the hut as short as I am. As I am writing this, I have tears in my eyes at the abuse the women of third world countries endure, it breaks my heart. We can only pray that by receiving Jesus as their Savior that the men will realize that God is not happy with abuse.
Today, after unloading our tubs and luggage in our rooms, we left and took Pastor Patrick, Pastor Hesborne and Pastor Domnic and visited 4 churches. Much to our surprise, they all wanted to serve us sodas and cookies. After the last church, Walt begged off the sodas and cookies. We were about to pop! Since JoAnne and I are the only females, we needed to visit the Cho. JoAnne is doing very well on that subject and I am sure will have lots to tell.
Tomorrow as I had suspected, we will be attending an African funeral. It starts at 10:00 and goes on till dark. We will probably be there at 1:00 and stay as long as we can.
We are all healthy and feeling great!
It was amazing how many people recognized me today!
It is amazing to watch JoAnne, Chris and Jason, who have never been here before.
PS…..God answered our prayers for Nick, he received his luggage today! AMEN.
Love, Betsy
