This saturday was very typical for us. We use this day as a day of rest and relaxation. Getting to chill at the Kamau house is so nice after a long week working in the slums. For dinner the apprentices went to the food court at City Market. I got a dish call "chicken kabob" is was so delicious. It was chicken and veggies on skewers with fries on the side and a Sprite. Soda's take so much better here then a home. Mainly because they use real sugar in the sodas here.

We were asked to be guests at a church down the road from the Kamau's house. The seats are filled mainly by young ladies that attend a near by high school. We were asked to have two of the girl apprentices give a short testimony and then wanted all of us to read Luke 22-24 and sing them an american worship song. Everything went well except when we got to the low note in our song some of us started laughing and couldn't stop. It was so embarrassing but they seemed to be blessed by our bad singing. It would have sounded much better if God gifted us in singing. It would have make it so much easier. Either way we had fun. After lunch we had the pleasure of driving "up country" to visit Wallace's Mama's house. It was about an hour drive thru gorgeous mountain ranges. Once we got their we realized that it was to muddy to drive thru the dirt driveway to we ended up walking about a half mile thru the mud to get to the house. It was so much fun! We were laughing most of the way to the house, mainly because some of the girls were wearing flip flops and they kept falling off so they ended up walking barefoot thru the mud. We had a wonderful meal, and was truly blessed by the entire experience. My shoes on the other hand needed a throw washing and are still drying on the balcony.

Mary invited all of the neighborhood girls (about 17 total) over for a one day relationship seminar. The female apprentices helped Mary facilitate the group while David and I had the pleasure of preparing the meals for the day. At 10:30 AM we served tea, bead & popcorn. At 1:30 PM we served sloppy joes, cabbage & cheese curls to 25 people. Then for dinner we had about 35-40 guest over for Mexican Monday. For this we prepared our own taco bar which means everything is home made including the flower taco shells. We had so much fun cooking for everyone. After dinner we had a family talent show. The show didn't end until about 11:00 PM. It was such a blast. There were jokes, dances, songs, poems, skits, oh and did I mention dancing. So, Brandon, what was your talent? Thanks for asking! I hypnotized one of the neighbors "boiling" hens for my talent. Everyone was amazed when the chicken was snoring on the floor. We even closed out the evening with a dance party and a 40 person conga line that danced around the house. Good times were had by all!
