A VERY SPECIAL SATURDAY EVENING

Saturday evening was such a special treat for us. We attended a youth fireside with the Mission President, President Broadbent, his wife, his son, and daughter-in-law (in for a visit from the states), as well as President Kogo. We were asked to speak (happens quite often here) with the subject for the youth being: Be Smart. Luckily that is a comfortable subject for a schoolteacher! The meeting was inspiring; the youth are even more inspiring with their testimonies. They face a deep challenge of persecution for being a member of the church here in Eldoret. I have the deepest respect for these Kenyan pioneers.

As if the Saturday evening wasn’t grand enough Alice, President Kogo’s sweet wife (and a friend of mine) invited us for a traditional Kenyan dinner. It was so yummy and I am sure she cooked all day. I brought cupcakes and they were a hit with the boys! The food was delicious, the company some of the choicest people on earth. It was a beautiful experience in the home of a Latter-day pioneer, President Kogo, who we are certain his grandchildren as well as many future saints in this area will reverence his name. How blessed we are to be assigned here in Eldoret, where the Eldoret District is just six months old.
