December 6, 2011 The days are hot but one keeps on going on. Then the nights come and even though the sun sets the heat of day remains at a level that makes it extremely hard to sleep through the night. The night lets the sun slip away and the stars of the night take over. It is impossible to be here and not take note of the malaria carrying mosquitoes. They are small and quiet but bold and relentless. Nights are spent under the net above the bed.
The morning sounds are many. The birds have also found this oasis in the desert. Desert palms with their cluster of fruit are found among the many shade trees here. Monkeys also enjoy jumping from limb to limb.
Another service is schedule for today on the other side of Lodwar in a village called Napetet. The chief joins us today along with many others.
The church is small and overflowing but it doesn’t stop them from jumping and dancing to the songs they sing. When one of women takes my hand I know that I am to join them in this time of celebration.
Bibles and reading glasses were also given to those here in Napetet. It is such a blessing to be able to pass out so many Bibles. A special thank you is sent to all of you who made this possible.
Psalm 100 : 1 -3 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
