Dr. Seuss meets Kenya

an attempt at putting the last few days into rhyme...

Wednesday came the day bright and alive

We visited a place where children do thrive

New Life Home was the place to be

For children who were orphans, had AIDS, or special needs

A place was seen where love abounded

Where children could live lives so very well rounded

Thursday was a day that we would prepare

For the Asbury team would soon be there

Grocery shopping for things, sandwiches and gloves

Snickers bars were found, which all do love

Zach accepted a water challenge that day

Over six liters of water were consumed, too much he does say

Friday morning arrived with new people to meet

The team from Alabama four did greet

Poor Bailey was down, a stomach flu

The rest went to Mathare and Kibera too

In Mathare there is a school, which is a church as well

We heard about their AIDS support program, quite swell

In Kibera the schedule for the week we learned

Then back to our dwellings and beds we turned

Saturday was a day where pastors we did meet

So many of them we were privileged to greet

Hearing about the challenges the pastors do face

We all prayed they would be given lots of grace

Split up into five teams, we were

As we visited the homes of the Pastors we would serve

Poor Zach spent the day at the apartment, so sad

He was sick; he caught what Bailey had

Sunday came a day to Worship the Lord

Different churches were gone to, some with a dirt floor

The faith and the strength of the people we met

Left some of the team with cheeks so wet

Some were given a chance to teach

Others listened to what was preached

The Maasai Market was visited by most

Robin and Zach stayed home, their stomachs were toast

Monday was spent going to schools

Crafts were made; games were played – so cool

The children were so very polite

The teachers made sure they were learning what was right

Stories were taught and lessons were learned

And when we were done, to the vans we turned

Tomorrow is a new day and should be bright

We love you all; have a good night!

The Mi2 team
