Sunday

Sunday was a day away from the project site. We headed to Soy in the morning to spend time with the kids and join them at their church service. The energy they express in their three hour long service and songs far exceeds anything that any of us are accustomed to. We had messages from both Pastor Matt and Pastor Bruce and a word or two from another half dozen individuals. After high Kenyan tea at the Shikuku's we headed to a local game reserve to see the rhinos, feed the giraffe and ride the ostriches. The matatu ride to and from the game farm was perhaps the most adventurous part of the day. In the dark, after a hard rain, the roads were even more difficult to travel than normal. But Robert, our driver, executed the trip masterfully and we got back in time for a great spaghetti dinner and an evening of shopping for souvenirs. It was a full and fun filled day. Tomorrow we'll dig out our trowels and hammers again. We intend to set some new performance bench marks.
