church...

today we went to early english service at church. After studying Swahili all week and needing a good bit of time to rest, we didn't want to cram our brains and day with a long service in Swahili.

so thinking that the english service was at 9:30 we left our house early for the service knowing that the english service is often short, we didn't want to miss any of it. however it started at 9am so we were "late". The sermon had just started and there came a few others after us. We did feel blessed to be there and always warmly welcomed.

What I didn't expect was the offer of the pulpit in the english service, then again by another pastor just a bit later the offer of the pulpit in the larger Swahili service. I was also offered any time that we wanted to hold classes or a workshop that we would be welcomed to do so. It was really a nice gesture, I didn't pursue it to see what this might look like as I have plenty on my plate.

so that was our morning...
