Good Day Today

We had a good day today with the kids. We joined them for church at St. Tobias Catholic church. It is the church the kids go to regularly. The priest was on Kenya time and the service started an hour or so late. We just sat cuddling the younger kids while the older kids practiced their dancing and singing. The priest presiding over the mass was the "good priest." Last year I went to church at St. Tobias with the kids a few times. There was one priest who was very interesting - very animated with a lot of shouting and hand motions, etc. The priest spoke his homily in both Swahili and English, so we were able to follow along with most of the service. The kids did readings as well as sang and danced. It was really great. Most of the younger kids fell asleep in our arms. You really can't beat that! After church we did a craft with the kids and gave them presents from the Good Shepherd UMC. Each of the children received a ziplock bag full of age appropriate goodies. Donna Hall coordinated with GSUMC. She said each family "adopted" a child and filled his/her bag full of goodies. Thank you to all those that participated at GSUMC. It was really awesome! The gifts were great! The kids really loved their sunglasses! They are always a hit at HOREC! I am having difficulties posting pictures. There are several posted on my facebook site if you want to check them out there.
