I just wanted to let everyone know that we are doing great and having a wonderful time. We had the privilege of giving Bible lessons and presenting the gospel in 3 schools today. Also, we have met many wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ.
We are staying in the community of Kericho. Kericho is known all over Kenya for their tea plantations. Everyone drinks hot tea with milk several times a day. 4 times we have been invited into people's homes to drink tea and eat bread. It's been quite an experience.
Tomorrow we leave for the bush. We are invited to a church dedication and we will spend the night out there. I am very excited and eager to see more of Africa. The people are amazingly friendly and hospitable. Also, it's been a nice treat that nearly everyone knows at least some English. Obviously that makes communicating much easier. They also do speak Swahili or other tribal languages, so it's very neat to hear them speaking to each other on the streets.
I think Miss Norma is having a good time having us here. She was so grateful for the little gifts and letters that so many people sent her. Her and I were really hoping to get an oppurtunity to go to Zambia, but God has not opened that door to allow us to go. Maybe He has another plan for us here.
There is no way to relay the burden and everything that we are seeing and experiencing here, but I can assure you that anyone who came here and saw these children and these people would feel the burden. The children are, as all children, so precious.
If only in America we could somehow grasp how blessed we are and how much we have. It does not even seem right that we should have so much and waste so much when there are 1000's of people dying over here every day. We have sat in homes today of people who have absolutely nothing. They have the clothes on their back, a mudhole to live in, and whatever food they bring home that day to eat. Our dogs live better than they do.
Please pray for us. How can you truly help them in just the few days that we have the oppurtunity of being here. They need so much more. And most importantly they need our Saviour. Pray that they will accept Him.
Thank you all for supporting us here. For your prayers and for everyone who has joined us on this trip on our blogsite.
Your servant,
Sarah Miller
