August 17th - A day of touring and conversations

Weston's stomach has acted up again causing him great pain. Please continue to pray with us for total healing.

Friday's log:

Took breakfast with Violet & Sammy.

Sammy Wanga drove us to Sam's radio broadcast house for an interview. The interview was split across the hour into several 3-5 minute segments, and Levi shared a short message of hope.

Enjoyed a live band. Then encouraged the staff there at the radio station. The radio station is focusing on a message of hope and is targeted at young people.

Picked up Violet and went to Nyahururu. She had a speaking engagement while we visited Destiny bible college, the heroes medical clinic, Sammy's church, and the Heroes of Nation orphanage.

It was a tremendous blessing to us to see much of the ministry there in Nyahururu. People here are working an amazing change on our God's behalf!

After dinner we had a speed-tour of the Heroes of the Nation orphanage, led by the kids. Saw the cows, garden, greenhouse, library, dining hall, kitchen, girls dorm, and boys dorm in about 20 minutes. Prayed for the kids, and the kids prayed for us.

Picked up Violet and returned to Nakuru.

We said goodbye to Sammy and went with Sam to visit the wheat field in Nakuru that Weston had planted as an investment.

Bought our last-minute bus tickets. The first two bus companies we visited were sold out. We ended up with an earlier bus than we had hoped, so we were then on a tight time schedule.

We packed & showered. Prayed with Weston & Violet for Weston's health. Then had dinner, and said goodbye. Headed to the bus spot with Joseph and his son, Sammie.

The bus spot was very difficult to find again, and we arrived about 28 minutes later than we had planned. However, the bus was still 20 minutes out, so Levi started sharing Jesus with people.

The station conductor was incredibly open to receiving Jesus. The conversation went like this: Are you born again? - No. Do you want to be? - Of course! And then they prayed together. Praise God!

Right as we were finishing with the station conductor, our bus to Makindu arrived. The next two guys on the bus that we talked to were already saved.

We got some sleep on the bus and arrived in Makindu after about 5 and a half hours.

Pastor Joshua picked us up and took us to our hotel.

Prayed with Joshua and Lampstone for the upcoming wedding, and went to bed.

More notes:

We plan to be in Makindu until just after church on Sunday.

Things you can find on a motorcycle or bicycle here: Six foot stack of chairs. Five-foot stack of firewood. 5 count bundle of 8 foot pipes each 6 in. thick. A mother with a baby tied tightly to her back using only a blanket.
