September 20 and 21, 2009

Sunday George has us on the road again to visit another church. This one is called Yala.
This was their last Sunday in their place of worship because the government needs the whole building now. So we took a picture and they will begin their search for a new place to meet.

John preached as they usually want the guests to speak and he is getting good at going for an hour or more. He said only one person went to sleep and I said that was your wife. We had a good laugh on that one. People will sit as long as you will talk. Then they serve you lunch as appreciation and asked if there was more teaching. We said no more today.

We arrive home around 4:00 pm. Sundays are long days when we travel. It seems of late we are on the road more than we are here in Kisumu. This week we will go out about two and a half hour drive.

Prayer for rain is working here. We have had some amazing rains. The predictions are that October will be even wetter. When it rains hard the electricity and water go out.
It can be very exciting and dark!!!

Monday night we had a storm like we haven’t seen here before and it uprooted a huge tree in our compound. Missed our power lines by a few feet we couldn’t believe it because the rain and wind were so loud we didn’t even know it had fallen until morning.


We have leaks in our roof and when it rains we get out the buckets. But as we got our buckets in place we couldn’t help but think of all that have houses falling down and holes in their roofs. We are so fortunate.

Weather in Kenya is changing just like we talk about in the states. People say this weather is not the usual for this time of year so it will be interesting to see what happens.
