As we returned home Julia requested we stop so she could have something to eat, she was feeling a bit ill. We did so at a little café they suggested. We were invited in for a cup of cocoa. Julia, Debora and Eunnis all had a cup and a chapatti, and we all ended up having the same. As we entered the cafe we were followed by other men, I think three or so. A couple had been spending the Sabbath day drinking of the spirits. I offered them what were having and they all agreed. I felt like a big spender offering to buy all this food for them. The final bill was $1.80 US. I gave the owner $2.00 and told here to keep the 20 ksh, she was surprised and delighted. We explained we were missionaries and a couple of people enjoying the café invited us to establish a denomination there in their little town of Ndalat, Kenya. Our visit to church was a great day but the distance to church and the idea of tithing was a little much for them to handle. Julia seems to be determined to hang on to us, she knows there is something very special that is going on.
