Tomorrow will be our last teaching day with the folks from Moheto. I know the students are tired & we are tired, but still it is bittersweet to have the end in sight. It has been a fabulous week in this corner of Kenya and our students couldn’t have been more eager to learn!!
Each morning that we have been teaching, we have opened our session with a word of the day, which has been one of the fruits of the Spirit as listed in Galations 5:22. It is a word to guide us as we move into the day. We then sing a song and pray a prayer to complete our opening.
Me leading our opening to start the day, with Eli translating.
Today our teaching topics included marketing, customer satisfaction and a review of budgeting as well as profit & loss recording in business.

Following our afternoon tea today we visited a number of businesses. We wanted to finish all of the visits before our last day tomorrow.

We have been staying at the Allaxis Hotel in Migori all week. They have provided us with very comfortable accommodations all week, for which we are thankful! Since we have been here so many days, we have grown fond of the staff who have been assisting us 😊
