We went to the local church here this morning. We thought we were going to be late but when we arrived the church was almost empty. About 15-20 mins into the service the church was nearly full! Each week we are going to have a couple of people give a brief message (about 15 mins long). From what we heard it is very common for pastors to volunteer visitors to preach the message that morning. Thankfully we had a back up plan for 2 people to be prepared the first Sunday just in case it happened- and it did. At the end of the service each of us had to stand up and tell a little bit about ourselves. Everyone was so welcoming! After church we were invited to visit a couple homes in the villages and pray for sick people and just love on them. A lot of the people really do live in grass huts with dirt floors. It was really neat to be welcomed into their homes. The most common Kiswahili words we hear are “Karibu” which means “welcome” and “Jambo” which means “hello.” The people are so amazing here. We finished off the evening playing a fun game of frisbee.
