It has been some time since I updated those who follow this page as to what life is holding here in Kenya. Due to the travel time around the country these past two weeks I was attacked by a sinus infection which sidelined me for several days. Knowing the severity of the infection and due to having them before, I knew what needed to be done but found no hope in a local clinic. Then, and only then, did I learn that at the local chemist here (our version of a pharmacy) one can acquire prescription medication with no prescription or doctors visit.
Armed with this knowledge I marched in and demanded a new antibiotic, which she graciously gave me after exchanging a moderate amount of shillings. After the first dose began to do its work I was revitalized and have been fine since. However, the illness took a bit of my time here and I missed out on a bit of ministry.
I was strong enough for the journey to Eburru, that was made after both of our vans had major issues befall them. We arrived and found the place to be quite beautiful although a unique location for a village. Eburru sits upon a dormant volcano as most of the mountains there in the Rift Valley are. As a result, water is a big problem in gathering as well as growing crops during the dry seasons. This struggle of life did not create issue in sharing the Gospel and many were blessedy by the Lord.
We have returned back to our home here in Kibera and all is well. The sinus infection has been destroyed and work has returned to its normal schedule.
