Then later I met this baba of a sister in our congregation who is 92 years old. It was fascinating to listen to his stories about the one grade school he used to go to before he went to war. He also showed me his Kitabu Cha Ukoo (family tree) that he made. It showed pictures of his parents & his siblings. It listed each sibling & the names of the children they had. Also the ages of the deaths in the family. But it was really cool to me. I could've sat there & listened to him talk all day.

The hospitality here is beautiful. Everyone in the congregation is so giving even though they don't have much to give. We have been invited over for three meals already. One was a complete surprise to us because we were just going to a sisters house for the meeting for field service & afterwards we met back at her house & she prepared a meal of noodles, (which are more expensive than beans or rice here so that was very kind & generous of her) meat, & hard-boiled eggs. After the meal about 10 of us sat in her small living room & we showed the sisters our pictures of our families, the places we came from, pictures from the recent Swahili Assembly in TX. They were amazed and loved it.
Also below I posted pictures of some of our kids & our group that normally walks to & from our house on Sundays
