Letter To Home From Zeke

This is from Zeke. Hello. We have been in Africa for 3 days now and all is well. We have had opportunities to do things that the majority of the world will never experience. Today we went with Norma to 3 childrens schools and shared the gospel. The children are so precious and so poor. They have so little and yet have a huge smile on their faces. I wanted to take all of them home with me. We gave them candy and it was like Christmas to them. They all sang for us and clapped anytime any of us spoke. They have probably never seen a white person before except for Norma. They want to rub your arms, face, and hair and then they burst into laughter. It was quite a site. We took a lot of pictures so church members can understand how things transpire here.

After the school visit, we went to meet some pastors at one of their houses and ate dinner. I cannot say that I enjoyed the food, but the experience of 20 people in a room the size of a walk in closet was crazy. They want to know everything about us. Our families, our jobs, and the places we have traveled are the topics of conversation. They cling to every word because most of them have the same story. They do not travel anywhere due to the fact that they have NO money. We truly are so blessed in the U.S. so much more than you can understand.

Ms. Norma is the sweetest lady on the face of the earth. Most grown men would never be able to keep up with her. She has done so much and made so many friends in the 5 years she has been here. The children and people seem to love her and respect her. She gives everything she has to the people of Kenya.

Tommorow we travel to a town far away. We have to stay with a national pastors in his mud house, so that will be bizzare. The roads are beyond horrible were we travel and the car we take is junkyard material. Somehow we seem to make it though. There are so many things I could tell you, it would fill 100 pages. Hope all is well at home. I miss my Fiance, Hi Jessica.

Talk to all of you soon.
