I wanna rock and roll all night...

... and go to church every day.

So yesterday in the afternoon there was a wedding at the hotel where we were staying. We all went to bed early since we had to get up before 6 to go to church in the morning. However, the wedding was followed by a reception, so most of us spent the night grooooooving to the beats instead of sleeping. Fortunately the music stopped at around 6, just in time for us to get up for the day.

At least that's what I hear. I (Ron) was at the furthest end of the building from the party, and I slept pretty well.

So this morning, church service #1 was from 7-9 a.m. in Thika, and church service #2 was, I dunno, maybe 11-1 or so in a daughter church  nearby. It was quite interesting, but by the second service it was getting pretty hot and people were fading fast. But the music was great, the speaking was fiery (in both Swahili and somewhat-understandable English). And the hospitality was unbelievable... we were fed after each service, and everyone was so welcoming.

So right now we are back at the hotel having a little rest. In about ten minutes we are heading out to the world-reknowned Carnivore restaurant in Nairobi, where I plan to eat alligator, ostrich, and whatever else I can catch.

Tomorrow we start work and begin staying with our host families.

That's all for now - Bwana asafiwi (Praise the Lord)!
