We have had an easier day today as we have finished quite a press. The meeting and first rest day were packed with story after story. Each church different and wonderful in their own way. The day we rested, Monday, was really tough, we visited two widows, with fresh graves in their front yards, and prayed with them and three other families in the area. This was tough and so sad, the graves at the home sites was not encouraged by the church, but the women had to submit to their husbands clansmen and do as they insisted.
The meetings have been very good with an increasing intensity of the Lord's presence, until we reached Uganda on Friday. This was a very hard, yet a beautiful place, with good (descent) roads and new animals, big lizards (with red head and tails and blue body) and baboons. The visits were on Saturday near the Mt Elgon , near the Kenyan border and on Friday southward near Lake Victoria. These were the two pastors that came on bicycles (two day ride) to meet with Al and attend the final meeting in Bungoma in 2004.
Yesterdays meeting in Busia-Teso district was the best yet. There was just a lot of joy in the Lord in that service, and the Lord was worshipped. There was a live chicken, eggs and pineapples given during the offering. The service was close to four hours !! But was to be enjoyed not endured.
Tomorrow we take off early for Masai Land to meet with the overseer of the Masai district Joel Ombima, and Ambrose Mwita, the overseer from Tanzania and the services in Lolgorian.
Thanks for all of the prayer, we will hopefully be able to update you on Saturday when we return.
Al for Larry and Al
