WEBUYE \NIGHT 1 & HOST FAMILIES

SO THE REST OF DAY 1 IN WEBUYE, KENYA:

Was very exciting! After being introduced and worshipping at the 'crusade ground,' we went to eat at a chicken restaurant in town. The chicken was alright, but the owners were Christians and treated us very well. It was interesting to see Webuye in the evening - and being the only Latin/white faces in the entire place. People are generally very friendly & curious with us.

After dinner, we returned to Bishop Alex's home, where we were met by our families, all from the church. There was A LOT of apprehension about the whole host family experience. We had been in Bishop Alex's place which was nice, but he had told us the testimony about how God had really blessed him & that he was the only family in the area that had electricity etc. That naturally lead to loads of anxiety about what the other homes were going to be like...

but more on that later..,.

Patty & I were to stay at Bishop Alex's & Pastor Florence's home. They had prepared their own bedroom & bed for us to stay in, but Patty especially would not accept to sleep in their room. We both knew it was going to be atiring 2 weeks & that they needed to rest well at night, so we bedded down in the office. We were exhausted so we all slept fine, & contrary to what we'd been told & sternly warned about, there really were no mosquitoes - which meant no MALARIA! Yippee!
