Well, today was our first Sunday in Kenya and as such we got to go to our new church home, Nairobi Pentecostal Church. We were picked up by Dr. Emily and arrived to the service on Africa time (which for those of you who have been reading the previous blogs is much like Gus time but it applies to everyone). Anyways, the NPC service was very fun with lively praise and worship and energetic preaching and prayer times. NPC is home to around 1,500 people with three services as-well-as a youth service.
After the morning service we met Dr. Emily's family and we all piled into her car and headed back to the guest house. We then went out to the Biblia Missions house to have lunch and meet Gus and the Vision Team, who are from California, they will be going with us to Makueni for the week starting tomorrow. After meeting the Vision team we took them to the Massai Market to do some trading and haggling for Souvenirs and trinkets. This served as a nice little team building exercise to help each team get to know the other team in preperation for a week together.
When we felt as though we had achieved our target buys at the market, we gathered together and discussed who got the good deals and who paid to much at the different "shop," (I believe I made it out of there pretty well using my past knowledge of last years trip with the Post team). We headed back to the Biblia Missions house to drop off the Vision team and then head back to our guest house for dinner and an early evening to rest up for our first week out of Nairobi.
This week we are going to Makueni to visit with the people there and we are told that we will be helping to roof some houses, which should be right up my ally :)
Well, that's about all that happened today, we thank you all for your continued prayer and support and now if you'll excuse me, it's time to go get some dinner!
We love you all!
