New Year's Day at Gatunguru

It's New Year's Eve, and as I write, you can hear the music for celebrating the New Year in the background.  

Bible Camp began with changes, which is usual. Due to construction in their room, Kristi and Victoria were moved to a nearby secondary school, which is also where the recreation is taking place. With the move, the Geography session gained much needed space.  The change seemed to have no effect on the overall success. The Bible story for today was Paul's conversation. Three young men made decisions to follow Christ during the Bible Study.  

Recreation introduced the children to a game from China called "Dragon." However, there is not a Swahili word for translating "dragon," so the game became "The Snake." The children had a great time playing.

The big hit of the day was crafts. The children made kites. They were very excited. Some small boys took off running down the road launching their kites into the wind. The teacher soon realized that they were not coming back. She had to run after them or they would still be running. 

We had our usual lunch of rice and beans. Bonnie and I met with the pastors and their wives at the Holiday Bible Camp.  They are a great group with a calling and passion to serve others in Jesus' name.
