What a blessing. Sat. night's Kenya Gala was just wonderful. 900 people attended at a new downtown hotel. Great food, great pictures and great Kenya stories. The committee brought over 5 Kenyan Doctors from Eldoret. It was JUST WONDERFUL. There were about 24 North people attending. Wooo. Woooooooo.
Then...Sunday at church. Great African anthem, benediction and sermon on generosity. The dinner was stunning. The meal was catered with new potatoes, pea pods, a beef and chicken wrapped in a very light filo dough and baked, salad with rasins and walnuts and red cake. The tables had black clothes to the floor with a bright African Leso overlay, grass centerpieces and Eldoret pictures in black frames along with gourds and black chairs. Even tightly managed Mabel Hohlt thought it was stunning. Wooo. We scored big time with Mabel. Joe and Sarah Ellen talked and showed slides. This function was part of our finance drive theme of Generations of Generosity. And their talks reflected that in no uncertain terms. It was a day filled with great things.
Now I'm on to ironing all the Kenya fabric we used. I'm about half way done and the day will include holding the iron and thinking about yesterday and all of it's perks. Hind sight tells me that my idea of going to Michigan and not following through was the best thing I could have done for me for today and the rest of the week. This old body needs time to catch up with its self. That's what today and tomorrow will be used for. The memory bank is full and it has been a wonderful unbelievable weekend of blessings for me as well as the church folks and Kenya. Yahoo!
