Church Relocation Project - Take 3, Part 2

Wow! What a week! There will be time to describe it in more thorough detail later. ANYWAYS! Where did I leave off? Ah yes, now I remember. Beyond reminding me of my grandfather, what was particularly special about meeting Mark was that it turns out his ministry was also ministering to the Maasai women of Kenya and in the same location no less! Turns out for the past few years while Robbie and his wife were with the older women and men, Mark was serving the younger women just down the same street. Literally the very next turn left and down an obscure dirt road. Crazy! You'd think after spending so many hours in the air, and traveling thousands of miles away from home I would come to the realization that the world is just SO BIG, when in actuality I am constantly thinking, "Wow Lord, what a small world." Well after enjoying lunch with Mark and a few others from the Christian Missionary Association we parted ways and decided to check on the church and take care of a few minor things--only to find 4 full grown female chickens we SOMEHOW missed/forgot/didn't notice... First thing was first, we had to catch them as well, bind their feet, disassemble the chicken coop--completely this time--and then faced the newly discovered, horrifying realization that our once relaxed and calm day now had an hour plus trip to Maasai land factored into it, AGAIN, lol. So we sucked it up, put the chickens in a big bucket this time (to avoid the wonderful plethora of poop) and went our way. An hour or so later we arrived at the Shamba in Maasai land and left the chickens with Christopher (the hired groundskeeper/guard aka Shamba Boy). All around, yet another busy day to add to our calendar. : )
