The worst was driving behind a truck and unable to pass him.
The kids did well. It was a little long but we got there and they had fun playing with the pastors kids and some of the kids in the community.
Pastors wife, Anne and her mother, a Masai lady friend of hers at the well. The kids playing footie and Lexxi holding up her present from one of the kids, a beaded cross.
This is the hut for the kitchen, the jikoni. And Jesus is My Answer!!
She is so beautiful... Anne's mother.
Such a cool hut.
A duka. (store where you can buy things like sodas and soap... and batteries and suckers. :)
Nick and Pastor had business to handle with the leaders of the community. It was a lovely walk through (on the one road of) the town. People were sweet... as the kids held hands walking to the head office, a store vender gave them all suckers. The line at the well was so long and I asked to take pictures but people said I shouldn't unless I pay them! So I didn't this time.
The door I stood against for an hour while the meeting went on and on. :)
We brought some chalk along with us... and how fortunate! The kids drew together while we waited outside. Instead of cleaning it off with water... they used dirt. Makes sense since there is just so much of that out here. This is the color of the dirt... our tire print in the road. After the meeting was over we went back to Pastors house and began to eat lunch at 2:30. It was delicious. Banana beef stew and chicken potato stew with rice. We all ate up! Next time we come out I will bring as many vegetables as possible for the Pastors family. Its just so dry out there nothing grows well.
The reason for this visit was to make sure the school being built there is in TAG name. But we learnt that it is not, that it is going to be run by the community, unless we build on the church's 3 acres. Anyway its a long story but here is A. the church building, B. inside the church and C. the hut for the woman that takes care of the church. And these are her children that came to see me at the car. :)
This is the water well that Majitech put in with a windmill for the church. This building is the clinic that Angel Mission made for the community. It is separte from the church at the momment.
Thorn trees are everywhere! Many people use these as fences... they plant them around their communities to keep people or animals out. Just a great picture to me of what the bush really does look like out there!
Where the earth touches the sky. Lobisoit.
Masai on the side of the road. (even though you can't really see that... its what this is!)
Goodbye Lobisoit, until next time.
We had a wonderful time way out there and hopefully will get to go back soon and stay for a few days in a tent. The kids loved it. It was amazing how good the shower felt that night. I will never forget that feeling of being so very thankful for running hot water!
Jesus be with our friends in that community and empower them to reach millions for you. And bless them for living the way they do!
