Last Full Day in Bungoma

Thursday, September 09, 2010, 8:00pm Bungoma Time

Today was technological review day I guess you could say.  Leonard and I spent most of the day going over the ins and outs of the new laptop that I’m leaving him.  We’ve set up folders for pictures that we’ve been downloading throughout the stay and organized them.  I’ve shown him how to run the anti-virus programs that we loaded onto the computer and even the differences in the new Word program.  Then we got the projector out and went through all the different hook-ups on it along with converters and adapters.  The audio setups that would work in different situations and we even set it all up and watched Louie Gigglio’s Indescribable on the garage wall.  We have watched several of the Rob Bell Nooma films and discussed  them.  I put a bunch of them on Leonard’s computer so he can show them to other people.  While we were working Sammy the Master Chef brought us Fish-N-Chips for lunch.  Now this is not the same Fish-N-Chips that you might get at Long John Silver’s.  I’ve included a picture in the new album so you can see what I got.  It was good!  I’ve also included some pictures of Sammy’s kitchen here at the Bishop’s house.  Let’s just say the next time we go camping I’m gonna call Sammy and see if he’s available.  So anyway, we finished the afternoon with the technology education and then walked over to Leonard’s home which is about a 15 minute walk away.  We had tea, of course, and then we just sat and visited a little bit since I have been actually staying here at the Bishop’s home.  I have gotten to see Leonard’s family but it’s always been at church functions and not really had a chance to just visit with Celestine and the kids.  So I spent some time with them and we all had prayer before I left, so cool!  Then on the way back we stopped by Pastor Tobias’ home and visited with him a little bit and then took the walk home.  So now I have started the process of packing for the return trip that starts tomorrow about noon Bungoma time (4:00am your time).  We will drive to Kisumu which is a few hours away and that’s where I’ll catch my first flight which is to Nairobi.  I’ll write more tomorrow from the airport in Kisumu, we are taking the laptop and Leonard’s modem actually works anywhere in Kenya.  So I’ll be posting again tomorrow but it will be from Kisumu.  By the way, Kisumu is the home of Obama’s grandfather and father.  They are very proud of him there, maybe they would like to have him?  Oh well, we can always dream!  Keep up the prayers that I can make all the connections over the next two days.  I’m concerned about the Chicago connection because I actually have to claim my bag and go through Customs and then put my bag through another security checkpoint just like I walked in from outside the airport and I have to do it all and make it to my next plane in just over an hour!  Might be a problem.  Anyway, I’m headed home tomorrow and I should arrive sometime Saturday afternoon if all goes according to plan, God’s plan.  Love you guys!
