Kenya -- A visit with Katie
(May 2004)

I arrived in Narok on Sunday morning. That morning Katie and I attended a local church, then in the evening we got together with some other Christian workers in the area for a time of fellowship. Katie led the worship time and played the guitar for our singing.
I got to visit the site of the new building going up where various activities will be held. Some folks from my home church as well as others have helped get this building off the ground.
The town of Narok is the largest Masai town. The area is poor, the streets are bustling with vehicles, donkey carts, bicycles, and pedestrians. Everyone I met was very friendly, and everyone who knew Katie loved her!
On the day I was returning to Nairobi to catch my flight back to Riyadh, we made a day of it! Katie and I were accompanied by Tim and Kristin for the trip. We had lunch at the Butterfly House, which was really nice. Then we visited the Giraffe center where we were able to hand-feed the giraffes being bred there. Later we met up with some other friends from Narok who were in the city and went bowling. For two of the guys it was the first time they'd ever bowled! Finally we really indulged at the Masai Meat Market, where a variety of meats were served, including ostrich and crocodile!
