Church visits

Alex and Shiphra live right next door to one of the churches that they attend. Shiphra is mostly responsible for leading the congregation at this church. It is fairly small and most people walk to the church on Sunday. We attended the church twice while in Kenya. On our first visit we were welcomed warmly and our second visit was at the end of our trip so we said Kwahare (goodbye). Even though the services were conducted in Kiswahili it was so easy to feel the love that the people had for one another.



Alex is preparing his sermon that he will give.

Alex, our host father, is an elder in another nearby church, which we visisted on our second weekend in Kenya. Church services in Kenya are overall much moe lively than services here. It is not uncommon for people to go to the front of the church and dance while they sing. We received a warm welcome from the congregation and were introduced during the service.







Here we are all waiting for a matatu to take us closer to our home. We ended up waiting for about an hour.




You can see some of the missing pieces of the road and a matatu in the distance.
