We (Ed & Carol) were able to spend the weekend with our friends David & Patience. We first met David in 2000 when a team from Nairobi Chapel came to Indiana to do the weekend worship service at Grace. David stayed with us for about a week. We have been close friends since and this is our third visit to Kenya and David has been to the US to visit us once. On Saturday, we went upcountry with David to visit with his mom. We had a very nice lunch that his sister had prepared. Then David suggested we go for a walk down to the river that runs through his mom’s farm. The first part of the path was okay, then it took a sharp turn downwards. It was very steep and difficult to keep your footing. As we came into a small clearing, David announced that we were at the river. Now, I expected to see a river, or at least water. The only way I knew there was water was a small trickling sound. As we were making fun of David & his “river”, I snapped the following photo:
On Sunday, we went to Nairobi Chapel and enjoyed an inspiring sermon by Pastor Oscar. We went to an afternoon concert at Nairobi Pentacostal Church to introduce a new CD from Reuben Kigame. David had played guitar with Reuben when he was first starting out. The music was wonderful, very worshipful. I looked over and Ed had tears running down his face, even though all the words were in Swahili. We returned to the guest house where we were staying and were greeted with hugs by Lynette & Teresa – it was like coming home.
