Nataaba

23/08/14

After the conference ended Friday afternoon, we bought some iron sheets (corrugated metal roofing), nails, fasteners and all manner of other stuff and headed out to the church in Nataaba.  This congregation had purchased some land on which to build a new church and the Brad Pederson Memorial Fund donated about half the cost of putting up the structure.  On the way, Rob found a tower he wanted to climb.

When we arrived at the old church site, we were greeted by many of the congregation gathered together singing and dancing.

Needless to say they were very happy to see us.  I had come here in February of this year and smiles of recognition told me that they remembered my last visit.

She's actually smiling.

I think Leonard is preaching and Shadrack is interpreting - or they are just trying to pose for the camera.

We visited the site of the new church where construction was not at all advanced since I left there in February.  I hope to see a completed structure soon. Leonard has promised to send pictures.

On the way back to Lodwar we ran into a wandering herd of camels and Rob jumped out to take a closer view.
