Greetings Friends and Family!
Another day farther into our mission journey and we have been blessed in countless ways again today. Our day started with devotions at BLISS. Kristi Bell led the devotion with Spencer Kennedy doing the scripture reading for the students and the mission team. Larry Gray shared his experience of climbing to the top of Mt Kilimanijaro (just before the Mission Trip), and presented Moses with the BLISS banner and a photo taken on mountain top. We were all impressed with this tremendous accomplishment!
Six microscopes were presented to BLISS with much excitement. Jeff Punch demonstrated the microscopes to the students in their new Science Building. The students were amazed with the clarity with which they could observe cells on slides. The school is quite proud to have first class science equipment.
Part of the team traveled to Maua Methodist Hospital to visit the medical facility there. It's about 45 minutes by van traveling north from Meru across the Nyambene Mountains to Maua. It's quite a scenic drive! The hospital staff provided an extensive tour of the facility and explained the types of diseases and treatments they provide. It was fascinating to compare the medical philosophy used here with that in the US.
The computer classes learned touch typing and practiced their skills in the computer lab with assistance from the mission team. In addition, they learned to start the computers and to use Microsoft Word. Even when classes ended, the students did not leave but continued to practice. The students are completely excited to learn about computers!
BLISS put on a soccer game just for us! The students really enjoyed sports and are great at it.
This evening about 20 members from Mwanika Church joined us for dinner and fellowship at Thiiri Center. We had a wonderful Kenyan dinner together. Then had a time of fellowship and sharing. We are known as the Ann Arbor chapter of Mwanika Church. There are 7 neighborhood groups (chapters) and each are charged to take care of each other. Returning to Kenya is always like coming home and being warmly greeted with hugs and words of kindness. We feel deeply connected and as being as ONE!
We continue to be looked after with great care by our hosts.There is a gentleness and kindness in their voices that is truly unique. We are blessed greatly again today and feel quite special.
You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers!
Your Mission Team In Kenya,
Gary
