Today is our last day in the town of Kericho where Miss Norma lives. Tommorrow we travel by bus back to Nairobi so we can fly to Zambia. We have had a great time and learned so much. The people of Kenya have been so gracious and want us to stay forever. I wish I was a millionare so that I could help more.
A person could help people so much here if more money was available. Everywhere you look there is a need. Miss Norma has taught us so much about living by faith and letting God take care of your problems. All you need to do is be willing to serve.
The people of our church are lucky to have Pastor Barnhouse. He has a gift of preaching that I get to see even more when we are in foreign places. We went to 2 prisons yesterday and it was an experience I will not soon forget. He preached one of the best sermons I have ever heard. The national pastors that were with us were so excited when he was done. You have to realize we were with 200 hardened criminals and he turned them into soft hearted men that seemed to be moved by his sermon. I was the only one to see it because the girls stayed behind to do housework. So if You want a blessing, go on a missions trip. It will change so much about the way You think.
Miss Norma made us French toast this morning for breakfast and it was a great break from the "stuff" we had been eating. We have two services to attend today, Pastor will be preaching both of them. If anyone thinks he is on vacation, you are sooooooo wrong. He has been preaching so much that I feel bad for him. But he does it so willingly and counts it as a privilege. He has a great spirit and it is seen by the people here. They love him.
We do miss America and our families, friends. We would stay longer if we could. I am really looking forward to Zambia and getting to see Ackim again. I am sure he is thrilled for us to be coming. Miss all of you. Especially my Girl, Hi honey.
