Day 9 and 10
















Day 9

A day of rest and fun!! Oh how the team needed it. We started the day out with Jennifer Hatley in down town Nairobi. The team had fun bardering with the shop venders. Many found great bargins.

After shoping in down time Nairobi, David Hatley me up with us at Carnavor. This is a fun restaurant in Nairobi where they serve all kinds of fun meats all cooked on swords over an open fire pit. You get to eat as much meat as you want.

Then we headed off to Kazuri Beads. Kazuri means "small and beautiful". Each bead is hand made and hand painted. Norstroms buys these beads up and sells them for hundres of dollars more. It was fun to shop there.

After a long day of shopping we all headed back to GCC Langata to hang out with the kids till dinner. They were so excited to see us and we all had a great time laughing, holding and doing hair together.


Day 10
This was our last full day of ministry. The morning brought 3 more sick people. It was said to leave them behind but we knew the rest would do them good. It was Sunday so we headed over to GCC early to help get the kids ready for church. Scott and Jeff went to teach the men's Sunday school calls and Belinda and Donna the women's. We all met up at the church for worship. This took 2 hours!! Love worshiping in Kenya!! Jeff also sang a worship song in Ki Swahili. He did amazing!! After worship, Jerilyn and Robyn taught the teens Sunday school class, Amber G and Raquel the older children and Vicki and Donna had the youngest kids. What a fun time.





After lunch we spent the afternoon with the kids of GCC Langata. We once again broke up in smaller groups. The older kids had balloons attached to her ankles and had to chase each other to pop them. The younger children did crafts, crosses they colored with glitter. The children under 5 all go to play with this great sticky corn starch things. They could make all kinds of things with and it was safe if the littlest put them in their mouths.


We then went out side and played games with a parachute provided by CHCC's mission council. Once again we had a wonderful time with the kids doing fun things and just hanging out. At the end of the day, the oldest kids walked us back to the place we were staying at. It was about a 10 minute walk. We had so much fun all walking together. Once there, they all went in to visit with the 3 team members that did not join us that day. It was a HUGE treat for them all.
