It is June 13. We thought it was Father’s Day today… I have looked and see no place where we have it marked, as it isn’t celebrated here. We made this same mistake last year…. Oh well!
The church fellowship last week at Ihwagi raised about $5-600 between the six congregations, for that church to use in building. We are thankful with them for this start towards their goal.
Sometimes the Lord just amazes me (me of little faith!) how He keeps bringing ladies to the YIT ladies group whom I had really “given up on”. One girl has come to church and the fellowship and I thank the Lord. On Tuesday we cut our Bible study/knitting class short and all walked together to visit ladies who hadn’t come to class. We were able to share the gospel with a good number in a lower class area where several ladies come from. There now is a “witness” there, so we trust they live right and will bring others to know the Lord.
Thursday afternoon we were able to go out to a farm to visit the parents of Martin who works with us in the YIT ministry. He deliberately didn’t tell us that his parents live half way down the side of a steep hill, reached by narrow, winding footpath!! If he had, we probably would not have gone. The Lord kept the rain off for two days, so that was a big help. I was Dad’s “living crutch” as we walked down very slowly! The house, once reached, was built on a level area cut out of the side of the hill…. Compact but nice.
Martin’s parents greeted us warmly and listened to the Word though they are Catholic. His younger brother was NOT happy to see us and refused to listen. We were served tea and arrow root (yum!) before hiking back up the hill. Going up Dad had a stick in one hand and a cane given to him by Martin’s Dad in the other. We arrived home safely close to dark.
Saturday we had a good class with teen girls at Ndegwa and Carol’s house. I enjoyed it, then came home and prepared Father’s Day lunch for today…. After we ate it we found out Father’s Day is next week!
A lady at Immigration gave me her phone number to contact her. I tried three times this week and didn’t succeed. So, we have to go again on Tuesday because that is the day she told us to come. So again this is a matter for prayer. Thank-you.
We were twelve in deaf church today and enjoyed a good time in the Word. This afternoon we had about 30 in our YIT evening service.
The weather is getting really cold.
Sandy for us both
