We slept in a little today, getting up around 7 and having breakfast around 8. Then we headed out to Komarock Shrine. It was very beautiful and serene. We were able to meet Father Thomas who is in charge here and saw the beautiful, rustic church! It’s very different than any attraction in the States – for instance, no fences/guardrails/blockades around the top of the shrine. You can climb on the shrine and believe it or not no graffiti! So we spent the morning there then over to the opposite side of the hill (the hill is divided, one side is catholic, the other is Protestant!) to the Kangundo Bible College. They have 33 students and when they finish their four year term they are dispersed into the neighboring villages to preach at the churches. They were very nice and were very happy to pose for a picture! And don’t cry Tarrin but here is the college’s library!
We took a quick tour of Pauline’s school where she works, Father Heeron’s Secondary School, which is like high school. Still very rustic but bigger than our Academy.
Then for lunch we had Ugali, which is maize flour mixed with water and looks like a cake! When Pauline asked me what it was I told her it looked like a cake so now that’s the joke when we have Ugali, we are having corn cake! And we have that with spinach and eat it with your hands, that’s the African way!
Now we are working on getting internet. Sorry for having all this to read but I’ve been writing daily in Microsoft Word until we are able to get this all on the blog! Hope you have enjoyed the reading! God has truly blessed us with this opportunity and I pray that you will be touched by what you have read here and the pictures you see of the children at the Academy and at their homes. These children and the people caring for them are giving everything they have to us and I pray that I can take what they’ve given me and show you their love and thanks for all that’s happened, through God, here at the Academy. Kwa heri – goodbye. May God bless you and keep you in His embrace.
