Red light green light during P.E.
Church in the Kipsango Slum
That's a sentence I never thought I'd hear, "There are monkeys eating at the buffet". The other day a group of monkeys bombarded the outdoor buffet we were eating at and started eating the buffet! Everyday here has been such an adventure. We went to visit a teacher from the school today in the only public hospital in Kitale and when we walked in we were astonished to find that each bed has two patients in it! Things like that are hard to see here.
On Sunday we had church in Kipsango, a slum in Kitale, and it was unlike any experience I've ever been a part of. People who can barely see, don't have shoes, and many elderly people journeyed just to come to church. It was really special to get to worship together with them.
We are going to walk through Kipsango tomorrow after school which I think will be hard to see but probably necessary. I hope I am able to capture even a small part of what I've seen and felt here to share with you all. We are leaving Thursday morning for Lodwar, a city in northern Kenya where most of the people from the slum came here from so I won't be able to update the blog until next week. Its helpful knowing you all are supporting us from so many miles away :)
Kira and Bridget! I loved reading your posts; thanks for sharing! I can't wait to hear even more. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for you both; I love and miss you!
Hey Kira - I'm glad your giving and receiving such joy! I admire you so much for giving of yourself the way you are... it makes me reflect hard on how little I'm doing. Thank you for doing what I am not. I can't wait to learn more!!
ReplyDeleteI love you!!!!! Trev
Hi, Sweetheart- I am excited to see you soon but think one of the hardest things you will ever do is leave Africa. I am very proud that you have put your faith to action and that you have gotten to share this experience with Bridget. I love you!!!Mom
