Today was another day of travel within Kenya. It was a full day and I feel like most of us were tired after dinner and devotional but still some of us decided to go shopping for some souvenirs across the street from the hotel. We traveled inland from Nairobi to Maua where we will be for the rest of the week. A couple things really stuck out to me today as we traveled. First, everyone we came in contact with was very hospitable. We had three wonderful meals at three different places today and at each of them everyone was so nice and we tried new things at each meal. We even cleaned our hands before dinner with lemon and a hot towel which was a brand new experience for me. Second, everything from driving inland to Meru and Maua to our tour of an agricultural training center showed how resourceful the Kenyan people are. They make due with everything that they have so that they can make a living and provide for each other. It didn't seem like anything was wasted. We saw numerous donkeys, cows, and goats throughout our travels today assisting the people with agricultural needs. We then had lunch at the Meru Methodist Bio-Intensive Agriculture Training Center where they grow their own crops while training others.
I think we can learn a lesson from this, that lesson is simply that we can be more resourceful by not wasting what we have which includes the land that we are called to take care of by God. And we can be hospitable towards others. I feel like this blog post should be a bit longer but like I said, it's been a long day.
Blessings,
Kevin
