This morning I finally was able to sleep in & not wake up to an alarm!! My driver came at noon to pick me up, so I had a leisurely start to this rainy Monday. My hotel has an amazing array of choices for breakfast, which I so appreciated, since I had a protein barContinue reading “Touring Nairobi & heading for home”

Today was bittersweet. We had a very fun & emotional celebration in worship this morning as we celebrated God’s presence with us this week & recognized all of the individual participants in our training as they received their certificates. Then right after a quick lunch with the congregation, we had to say good-bye to theseContinue reading “Leaving Moheto”

This morning, as I was eating breakfast with Steve in the dining room, a huge, vibrant rainbow appeared across the sky. Immediately we left our table to head outside to take photos, but also to marvel at it’s brilliance!! I was struck by the coincidence that this happened on the morning of our last fullContinue reading “Starting the day with a rainbow!”

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!! EachContinue reading “Winding down…”

Today, we were back teaching in Moheto after spending yesterday visiting Homa Bay. On Tuesday at the end of the day, we introduced some of the financial record keeping one should do in one’s business. These folks we are working with have been functionally working with their expenses and profits in their businesses, but notContinue reading “Confusion and stories”

Today we set out early to head to Homa Bay with Pastor David, Elnora, Pastor Carol, Alice & Alphoncine. Steve, David & I had wanted to view Lake Victoria since we were so close to it. Today’s trip offered us all the opportunity to see the lake & take some time mid-way through our trainingContinue reading “Traveling to Homa Bay!”

We woke up this morning to the realization that the water in the hotel was not working! The hotel staff reported that there was a fluctuation in the power grid in Migori overnight, which caused one of the circuits that powered their pump to crash. Thankfully they figured out a way around it after aboutContinue reading “Halfway through our time of teaching!”

Today was one of the longest days we’ve had so far. We left the hotel shortly after 8:00am and returned about 7:15! It was a very full day with lots of reasons to be grateful! Our group added 2 students today who weren’t able to join us on Saturday, so our class is now 24Continue reading “A long, exciting Monday!”

We started this morning in Moheto being treated to tea at Pastor Ken’s house, as we went over the plan for Steve’s sermon in the worship service and for David’s and my participation in the service of the consecration of the well. Such amazing hospitality in the midst of a very busy morning for PastorContinue reading “Wonderful Sunday celebrations!”

This morning we finally got to Moheto!! It was about a 20 minute drive from Migori, where our hotel is, to the village of Moheto. This was our first day of training with the 21 business owners. We will continue again next week Monday through Friday – 6 days total for training, visiting their businessesContinue reading “First day in Moheto!”
