While the kids were still on break in Aug. I also got to
spend a few days in Nairobi with some new friends I have gotten to know since
coming this time. Patrick is a pastor
and Rose in the head of the Christina Union at a college. They leave at the collage. I left with Dorris at 3:00am Thurs. morning
for Nairobi. We travelled by Matatu (big
bus with no leg room). It costs just
under $6.00 to travel this way. It is
about a 3 hour drive. Very cheap. We arrived in Nairobi around 6:00am. We had something to eat and then started are
morning. There were a few things Dorris
needed to do and then I needed a haircut.
The haircut is only possible in the bigger cities where there are more
white people and salons that are used to their hair. So once I was done with that we met up with
Rose. Dorris then traveled back home and
I started my time with Rose and Patrick.
We didn’t get to their house until around 5:00. Rose had some things to do in the city before
heading home. Again I had decided that
God would only call me to service is a big city. It was crazy.
The good news is that Rose and Patrick live outside the city a little so
once at their house it does not feel like you are in the city. So the first evening was relaxing and
catching up. The next day was more
relaxing and catching up. The afternoon
consisted of cleaning rice and beans (sorting through from stones) and the
porch. Very relaxing. Then their daughter joy and niece Suzy and I
made chapatti. We had lots of fun as you
can see from the pictures. We also made
roasted maize. There corn here is very
hard and does not get soft no matter how long you cook it. When roasted it tastes really good. I have seen it done but never done it
myself. So I learned and had fun doing
to. I left there house Sat. around noon
and heading back with Patrick who was speaking at Pastor Mugo’s church on the
Sunday. It was a good time away and with
good friends.
