We were saddened to have to say good bye to Grace today. She went to Nairobi, Kenya to do some CBM work. We will miss her.
We were invited to attend a church in Rhuhergi. This church was held at the AEBR High School that we had previously visited. We were all feeling intimidated by the thought of a 3 to 4 hour service in a language we could not understand. It turned out to be a wonderful, worshipful experience. There was a lot of singing and dancing with many different choirs. After we were introduced to the congregation, Don brought words of greeting on behalf of CBM and our church. The team sang two songs: We will Enter His Gates with Thanksgiving in our Hearts and Shine Jesus Shine. Believe it or not, the keyboard player was able to pick up some of the tune and played along.
After the sermon, which was about 30 minutes long and was interpreted by Jean, we were each presented with a gift to keep as a remembrance of our visit with them and for the work that we are doing. It was an extremely emotional time for us and one that we will not soon forget. The service turned out to be about 2 and one half hours long and there were approximately 250 people in attendance.
After church, we were invited to the Pastors home for lunch where we had one of the best meals yet. It could have been that everything was homemade and therefore very tasty.
We then returned to our guest house for a quiet afternoon and evening.
