It has taken awhile to find internet access. Will try to briefly update you and will have to add pictures after we're home. We are now in Kitale. We flew into Eldoret on the 12th and Pastor Timothy met us at the airport. Our adventure was beginning! After riding for 70 kilometers and bouncing over dirt roads, zigzagging around animals, bicycles, and what seemed like thousands of people walking in the middle of the road, we arrived and our education was just beginning. We are completing the Bible conference at Liavo church. Gary spoke last night and three times today. The meetings continued all night long with 150 people taking a break to eat at Midnight. We tried sleeping instead of attending all night but jet lag got the best of us I'm afraid with us waking up at 3:00am.
We are staying at an English woman's bed and breakfast which is very nice. We are sleeping under the mosquito nets each night and are able to shower and charge batteries. This is in sharp contrast to how our Kenyan friends are living. The poverty is apalling and overwhelming at times. However, each day we see less of that
and more of their spiritual depth. Karen taught the children today. There were well over 100 kids between ages 2-12. I don't think I've ever had such an attentive audience. One piece of candy and making a bracelet were a big hit. So simple and yet so well received. Thanks for upholding us each day in prayer.
