On Tuesday, November 16th, we were blessed with a visit to Ulungu, a small village about four hours south-east of Nairobi. Ulungu has been linked to our home church in Peterborough for several years, and the drilling of the well here was a big part of our family's prayer life for many years when the girls were much younger. To be able to meet people from the community we have prayed for, for so many years, was a beautiful gift. We took part in a ceremony to mark the official end of the church/village partnership (which has resulted in a well, a water distribution system for the surrounding countryside, a medical clinic, and uniforms for many school-age children). Pastor Ben Mutea spoke, many people sang and gave speeches, and we were given lovely hand-made gifts by the village representatives. It was a wonderful day.
