The Church we went to in Kenya is very different from the ones in San Jose. First of all the building was smaller and there is only one room. Also it was out in the middle of nowhere with only fields and two streets within a mile of it. It was built from wooden poles with a straw roof and wall made from clear tarp. There was a smaller similar building for the children’s Liturgy of the word. The bathrooms were only a wooden shed with big concrete hole in the ground like an outhouse. They are raising money to build a more permanent church with walls.
We went to Sunday mass with Nora (one of the maids) and met her family. A cool thing was that mostly all the songs were in Swahili. There was a visiting priest from the Vatican, and another priest from Nigeria. After mass everyone there wanted to meet us and talk to us.

I bet you guys looked very foreign to everyone but how cool!
Guess what...we're finally going to get snow here the next 5 days and it's going to be super COLD! Winter is finally here!

This sounds like a neat experience. I would love to go to mass at that church! We are taking good care of Maisy - she says hello.
