Khaunga
So we rode in a matatu for about 3 hrs, and got to this place that looked like it used to be a small shop. And found out that's where we were staying. I thought it was a joke. but we ended up having the girls sleep there, while the guys stayed somewhere down the road...this week would prove to be the biggest test from God. Tuesday morning I got up super early to give devotions at the high school close by. I LOVE working with the youth!!! The rest of the week was a mixture of door to door, revival meetings, and workshops for the church leaders. I got to share my faith with a Muslim for the first time. It was interesting to compare our faiths and understand some of the similarities and differences. This week proved very testing. for one, my leader started falling apart. He was not being a good leader, lets put it that way. Or even adequate. And many of my team members were very sick. And some of them refused to participate in ministry,saying they didn't want to anymore. So suffice it to say, i was very upset this week. to top it all of, I'd had diarrhea for 2 weeks now, and a burning stomach. Went to a clinic and found out I had amoebas! So gross. When I came back to our camp, my leader told us we were not going to finish our outreach and go to Vehiga as planned, but we were to join the other team in Mombassa. I was so angry, I couldn't believe it. He told us so many reasons for it that I did not believe. He lied to us and told us all different things. But the reasons we went were 1-we were all sick, and Vehiga was going to be a lot of hard labor, building and planting and stuff; 2- he was tired of leading our team because 3- we were not functioning as a team, because people were holding grudges, gossiping, not wanting to do ministry, etc. So Sunday, we went to church, then got in a matatu and met the other team in Kakamega. We got on a bus and rode for 30 hrs, and arrived in Mombassa on Monday night.
