First day Palm Sunday

Well we arrived in Nairobi at 5:30 in the morning we were so tired from the flight as most of us hasn't slept on the 7hr flight journey but we met Richard Bradbury and his assistant captain Moses who was very lovely to us he helped us on our way to our accommodation which was a very pleasant surprise to for most of us we got changed to get break fast at the heavily recommended by our Helen Schofield JAVA COFFEE HOUSE which was amazing we have a big breakfast we then hurried to the mornin meeting for what turned out to be a big surprise as we were in the mini bus we drove through to local market is it was just so different to what we were used to there were goats in the middle of the street ALOT of people who were so friendly and crazy and I mean CRAZY traffic as we got closer to the church we heard loud drumbeats and people singing we got there and saw the craziest open air meeting we've ever seen there were people on rooftops standing there so eager to hear the word God we got and introduced and soon after they got us marching haha we marched for about a mile to get to the second destination where the church service continued we got there and the meetin was umm very VERY AFRICAN there was dancing joyful singing it was just epic the church was nothing line the ones in England but it defined the old parse that a building doesn't make a church but the people themselves make the church these people were worshipping in what would be considered a shack made out of metal sheets but they couldn't care less they were just ecstatic that we where there as we were worshipping with them they have us gifts which was very nice , after that we went to Lucy and were just spoiled for choice by the amount of food the hospitality was just amazing after that we showed the youth how we worship God by leading a youth meeting which they loved after the meeting we had loads of photos with members of the corps all in all the day was epic for a first day it was just amazing I can't wait to see what God has instore for us for the next couple weeks
