First Time...EVER!

Another great day of activities on Saturday (remember, we're 8 hours ahead of you!).  Each day we visit a different project for construction, Bible school and playing with kids.  After each day's visit, one of our leaders always says, "OK, these were my favorites!"
 
Specifically, we dug up and carried dirt, added water and applied the mud to 'stick framed' huts.  Seriously, you have never seen anything like this!  Our ladies mixed the dirt with their bare feet.  Crazy!  We also were on the site where water was delivered to communities for the first time.  And, amazingly, we are the first white people EVER to visit each of these Mission of Mercy projects. 

One battle that we had to overcome today was the concern from several women in the villages is whether we are Christians or devil-worshippers.  You see, there is a legend that when someone who you don't know shows up to help you, they are devil-worshippers.  We had great opportunity to pray with and love in JESUS' name - proving who we serve. 
 
Sunday, we will divide our group into three, each visiting a different church to worship with the Kenyan villagers.  We can't wait to share the many WONDERFUL experiences with you.

You are missed and Loved!
