On Sunday (1/22/06) we all went to Church to watch Randy give his cermon. He would speak in English and Reveren Mongie would translate into Swahili so that everyone could understand. All educated Kenyans speak English since English is the language used in schools, unfortunately not every Kenyan has the opportunity to go to school.
Monday (1/23/06) Adam and I went to the new Kupenda office to help build a concrete ramp that would provide access to the front doors for the handicap children who have wheel chairs. We worked with a carpenter. His name was Nelson. Nelson was th
e toughest and nicest man I have ever met. We worked all day in the blazing hot sun and never once did Nelson complain or even ask for a sip of water. We bought water from the local gas station and we shared it with Nelson, but if we hadnt bought the water I don't think he would have drank a sip all day. Nelson worked for a full 8 hour day and he only gets paid $1.50 for all of that extremely hard work. He is a man that I truly respect and admire. I told him he was my hero.-Adam
