Well I managed to get this picture up, but the rest keep timing out. This is after our second church service on Sunday - posing with a few of the children that were there.
Last night we stayed with our host families for the first time. To our collective delight we all had indoor plumbing and showers, most of which worked. The houses are actually pretty nice... any middle-class home is surrounded by a wall and a gate, and most have some livestock in the yard as well. The place where I'm staying has some sheep, goats, chickens, rabbits, and, unfortunately, four roosters. They had a little contest just before dawn to see who was the baddest rooster of them all. I am staying with Peter, who is a pastor, his wife Rose (who has been to Kitchener), and their son Bryan/Brian who is 12. On the way there we had to drive through a herd of cows and goats that was taking up the entire street in the middle of town. That was fun. If you honk the horn they get out of the way eventually. The town is certainly not what we're used to. Dirt streets and lots of dust and haphazard-looking buildings.
Today we worked a bit, and then went to the market in Thika. It was pretty interesting. It didn't, uh, have the same hygiene standards that we are used to. Hopefully I can get some pictures of that up soon.

In about an hour we'll be off to the first evangelism meeting that's near a town about 20km away.

We are really enjoying your pictures and updates. Roosters crowing, dusty roads, livestock roaming free bring back fond memories of our time in Africa.
Looking forward to hearing more,

Keep taking pictures. Been fun following your trip. We pray that God will use you in your time in Africa.
