Our Kenya environment

 Our Nairtiri Elder's apartment.  It was the best of them as we visited all four places that day.
 A pretty typical rural home
 The brick for the homes are fired in these makeshift kilns.  Notice the sugarcane in the background
 Our humble abode.
In our compound. A little like paradise.
One of our chapels - in Naitiri.  It needs a little work on the picket fence and some trash collection.
There is an enormous discrepancy between our place, and the Elder's lodging and these chapels.  I guess that is why the Elders enjoy coming to our house.  We are certainly glad to welcome them, they never complain.  When we came back by the church after having dropped them off 30 minutes earlier, they were already picking up the trash around the church because we suggested they have a branch service project to clean it up.

  1. I hope some of us can come and see you sometime in the next year. It reminds me a lot of the rural areas of India that we saw so many time when we lived there. Sign me up for a service project!

  2. wow it looks trashy and pretty at the same time. Actually reminds me of rural Brazil. Do they ever use the brick oven as a pizza oven - you could have some sweet ward pizza parties. Your house looks like that of the dictator/warlord of a small African nation whilst the poor live in shacks. Actually looks exactly like Charles Taylor's residence before going to prison.
