Friday, May 22, Conference Preparations

Friday-While the rest of my family was in Oyugis, I went to Mmbale to help with the workshop for the women with disabilities. Pastor Timothy came by Mission to the Fatherless around 8:00 in the morning. He helped us find our way around town. First we went to a couple of banks to cash Evey’s traveler’s checks. Please take note not to bring traveler’s checks to Kenya. It took 5 banks and a money exchange over the course of 4 days (ran into the weekend) before Evey got her money. Next we went to the cyber café. Most of the supplies for the meeting were purchased at Mama Watoto’s shop. Naomy Ruth picked us up after work and we bought tomatoes and water then we were on our way. Evey and I spent the night at Naomy Ruth’s house, and then left early to set up for the meeting in Mmbale.
