HANDOVER CEREMONY

We had a great experience yesterday at a handover ceremony with the Humanitarian missionaries. At the Mukyu Primary School the LDS (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) Charities just completed two water stations, 32 latrines, and a well for water. This school has about 800 students that were so excited! I shook hands, high-fived, and knuckled so many kids --hugged so many women in a large village way, way out in the backwoods. I am sure they never expected to see let alone touch a Muzungo (white person). They were all so sweet and happy. It was a pleasure to be part of the day.

On the way home we picked up a man that had a motorcycle spill on the muddy roads. He spoke the best English of anyone we have met, was interested in the church, and we taught him the gospel until we let him off. He was amazing, very bright, absorbed all the discussions in one ride! He kept up with us as we talked about the Restoration, Book of Mormon, Plan of Salvation, and scriptures. We gave him pamphlets but we were out of Book of Mormons. I have his contact number so we will send that to the missionaries in Kittale. He could easily be a Branch President some day. He seemed to be such a great, great man.
