DAY 7 - FINAL DAY IN WEBUYE, KENYA

DAY 7 WAS TO BE OUR LAST FULL DAY IN WEBUYE

Our time in Webuye had been phenomenal. God had blessed us, been with us & used us for His glory.  We felt honored & sad at the same time to be leaving.

We began the morning by attending one final school in Webuye.  This was a school that had very much wanted us to come & had also wanted to participate in the Kids' & Teen Games event, but were unable to. So we paid them a visit - sharing our testimonies & presenting our dances & dramas for them.  It was a lovely morning. 

There was a stark difference in this school. Similar to the Kindergarden that we'd been to earlier, the children here were noticeably poorer. Many of the kids were in tattered clothes & few had shoes on their feet. 

Yovana gave her testimony about what God had done in her life. The kids again loved the drama, & many were able to relate personally to it. We were thrilled & praised God at how many responded by giving their lives to the Lord when Patty gave the invitation to those who wanted to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord & Saviour. It was beautiful just to imagine what wonderful things God had in store for such young & hopeful lives. 

While the team got changed for the Bolivian dance number, Patty, Roberto & Susan organized a game of Musical chairs with the younger kids.

Roberto had suggested we go and talk to some of the older boys we saw sort of hanging around the back ... too cool for school types - so Larry & Roberto went over & got to know them a bit. They were sad we weren't going to be doing any sports competition but they wanted to compete against us.  We didn't have much time so we agreed to have a footrace with them.  What a mistake.  We knew we were going to get blown out of the water but it was fun.  Just to be able to say we ran against a Kenyan!

After school we went and had lunch, went into town to use the internet & then spent the entire afternoon & evening preparing Bolivian food for our host families who we'd invited to Bishop Alex's for supper. We made 'Pique Macho' & they loved it. We really had a wonderful last night, all the families came and ate well. We thanked each one and said our goodbyes. At the end we gave Bishop Alex a plaque in appreciation & thankfulness for all he'd done to make our trip a great success.  We had indeed made an impact Webuye. We now had Kenyan family & were so thankful to God for bringing us together to bond, worship, serve, play, work, eat, & dance with such a spectacular group of people. Early the next morning we would ready our things to go into UGANDA . . .
