Leaving Kisumu...

It is bittersweet, writing this last blog from the living room of CHI-K in Kisumu.  We have all had such an amazing time, serving the Lord and creating deep friendships  (rafiki-ships!).  Last Friday we had a dinner for many of the patients and yesterday we hosted a lunch for the local (National) volunteers.  Here  is a photo of our lunch table...it reminds us of the great feast we will have one day in heaven with all these precious people...


This is the Care & Compassion team in front of the Land Cruiser that takes them all over the region as they serve people with HIV-AIDS in their homes.  (We've nicknamed the Land Cruiser, "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride", because it is ALWAYS a wild ride as we travel the roads of Kenya...)


And just so you know...we learned how to dress smart, which means "African".  This is what we wore to Church on Sunday!  Several of us had beautiful new dresses made here in Kisumu.  (For more details on the great day we had in Church see the blog entitled, "Another new sister in Christ".)


Here is a video of the theme song for Choose To Wait.  We LOVE this video and have lots more to share in the days and weeks to come...



Love & blessings to all from the STARS over Kisumu team!
