Hello all in Canada, Its David here with an update on this past week so far.
Last Saturday we got to do door to door evangalism with pastor Kennedy around the area of his local church and then on Sunday we went to his church which was four hours long! :0 After the service we went to his house for lunch.
Monday was our day off as ussual, and Candice and I spent the day hanging out with Laban (a cousin that lives that lives at our house) at his litttle cafe at the end of our drive way.
Tuesday was a Kenyatta Day, which is a holiday to celabrate their first President after Kenya got its independance. We organized a sports day for the kids at Mercy Home, and played. vollyball, soccer, handball, and also had running races for the kids. It ended up being one of my favorite days so far.
Wednesday we helped with a street kid's program at Fath Community church runned by a lady named Esther. We didn't know what to exspect, but it ended up being a really good way to connect and understand the kids. When we got there, there were about 13 kids playing football and washing their clothes. As the day went on there were about 70 and I reconized alot of them from seeing them on the Kitale streets. I soon found myself joining in on the football and meeting some of them, while Candice, Trudy, and Nancy helped with bandaging wounds and cuts, and giving medicine to those who needed it. At lunch the kids were all fed Githeri (beans and corn in a dish) and then we were asked to introduce our selves and sing a song to the kids. After a short time of prayer, the kids were all lined up ready to go through bags and bags of donated clothes. Each kid was allowed one item, but I saw some take two ;).
Overall I am glad we decided to give it chance, and we are planning on going to it next time on the November 18. They have it the third wednesday of every month.
Today we are in Kitale and then to Mercy home to see the kids, and check up on how the contruction of the chicken building is going.
Thats all for now, Thanks for the prayers
David
