Morning: Hospital Visit.The drive to Saye was quite rough but we stopped on the way to visit the Hospital and distribute the materials Dacil and the rest had put together for them.
We stopped over last night to talk with the nurse in Charge and to know how many children we have in the wards.
We visited 15 children with their parents, 11 newborn with their mothers and 6 women in maternity ward-We also gave away some materials to other wards.
While we toured the maternity ward, I was moved by one particular incidence involving a lady that grabbed the stuffed animal in the pack I was handing out to her, hugging it to herself, completely ignoring all the other provisions in the bag-I wondered what it was in this woman's life that drove her to act in this way and if she would be willing to open up-we prayed with her and each and every
patient in the ward.
It was such fun to meet sister Margaret again; we reflected on the good times we shared during our last visit The only difference now is that we are meeting at her home rather than her uncles place (which is more modern and has more facilities)
I still feel weak and drained and did my best to rest when ever I can-We all danced and rejoiced before God as the Band sand and played to the glory of God. Wilson the lead vocalist is good and has this way of getting everyone on their feet.
Noon: Pastor Rose was called to do the Niwewe Buana song, which she led and got everyone whipped to a deep state of Spiritual elation
The house evangelism team left and the sex education team were showing their presentation in one of the nearby houses.
The rest were having fellowship with the people and counseling them-Our adopted daughter Linnet was there with her mother and so also was our little boy Dalton. His gran mother told us that he cried each time we went back to our hotel. Dalton is such fun to have around because he is such a lively kid and very energetic. A far cry from the sad and pained boy me met a year ago.
He has become the pet of our team and all the kids in each village quickly came to that realization and treated him like a prince.
Night: We went back to our Vesture Villa hotel @ Oyugis, the hotel is an unfortunate disappoint, and smelled of burning cinder half of the time because they cooked everything on firewood.
When I complained that I needed hot water for my bath, they brought me hot water in a basin, incredible! But at least that was room service at its best and not even the smell of smoke in the water kept me from enjoying a pleasurable hot bath that night-Glory to God!
I stayed up very late(midnight) going over the travel plans with Huxley and giving him the money needed to get the extra transport for our crew tomorrow.
Joan was mad@me for coming late to bed.
