Kenya

What an incredible journey!  On one of our days,  we spent time  with the aids orphans that Grapevine and Salado Methodist Churches sponsor.  It was an exciting experience seeing many of the children.  We took pictures and a video and had the children say their names, so hopefully everyone will see their sponsored orphan.  I have never seen such well behaved children.   There was singing and a lot of visiting with people.  Both churches distributed blankets and mosquito nets to most all the children, with a few more to be purchased.  Many of the children played soccer with some of the people.   Later in the day we went to the girls' boarding school where Catherine Muriki is principal.  It was very informative to take the tour and talk to the girls.  Sunday,  we all went to different churches to worship with Joe and I attending Rungone Methodist where Catherine Mutua is the pastor.  There we were so blessed with music, gracious hospitality, and friendliness.  These people have a special way to show their love for God and their fellowman.  Truly they are examples to follow. Later in the afternoon, we toured the Methodist orphanage where we saw some 50 or so orphans of all ages.  We were able to give them some things we brought after they entertained us with song and dance.  I cannot tell you how humbling all of this has been to the people on this journey.
