May 9 - 11
Thursday, Jan worked in the office and I headed out to a Maasai home to pick up a couple of children and take them to school. We picked up Carolyn Sumug,Beatrice, Mary and Tracy Sumug, plus visited with Tenina - it was a busy morning.
Friday we headed down to Olitokitok area to visit the churches down there and the lay pastors. We ate supper in Vincent Luvembe's home and had chapatis and beans that were very yummy! Then drove about 45 minutes to our place of lodging for the night. It was called Kibo Slopes Cottages - we were on the foot hills of Mount Kilimanjaro -which is the largest free standing mountain in the entire world! As the sun came up and peaked over the horizon early in the morning the mountain looked incredible! I love mountain climbing - and for any of you that have climbed mountains you know that a "mountain bug" bites you .... (of course it is not an actual bug - but rather something inside of you draws you back and it is like the mountain calls your name) I heard the mountain calling my name....
Sabbath we headed out to Samuel Solio and Leonard Shuaka's church church. Vincent Luvembe came with us and Patrick Muyia was with us too. The church was
about a hours drive on a very rough road... in fact most of you would probably have not considered it a road, but rather a cow path that had washed out in several sections! The church was small, made from cut timbers placed roughly together. The benches were narrow, without backs and the roof did not meet in the middle, allowing the sun to pour through onto those sitting on the center aisles. Sabbath school was out in the grass, some sat on a bench, while others sat in the grass. Vincent preached the sermon - and did a great job! We ate lunch in Samuels home just down the road - we had beans and chapatis. Then we headed home - which took us about 7 hours on a very bumpy, dusty road - along the way we saw zebra, wildebeest, ostrich and giraffes grazing, and the sky was sooooo soooo blue! It was a blessed Sabbath.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you ladies who sponsor our Maasai Children! It is a wonderful day here, about 78 degrees, the sun is shining and the rain has brought green to the grass and tress once again. We will be in Nairobi area for the next couple of days.
God is good as always! I just want to thank each of you for all that you are doing - you are changing lives and making a difference, in not just one life, but MANY!
