Eldoret Guest house Rental & Events

Our first week of language training went far better than Terry and I had anticipated. Our Mwalimu (teacher) Wycliffe not only made learning Swahili fun but he has a program that is well organized and proven.

This week we learned how to greet, introduce ourselves, order food (essential), count and the days of the week. Pretty impressive start for Grandparents. Yesterday we had the opportunity to eat lunch with 10 area Pastors within our associated work and had a chance to practice what we learned. They were impressed for only one week of lessons. Or maybe they were just being kind. Lol. At the end of our luncheon I received an invitation from the hosting Pastor to teach and preach tomorrow at Mwembwe Baptist Church. Another Pastor invited us to do evangelism with him next Saturday in a town of 7,000 called Mawai Tatu (3 Stones) . This Pastor has been riding his bike 4 hours to bring the gospel to this town that does not have a single Church. It looks like we will get to be involved in a Church plant in this town while we are in language school. Please pray for us as we share the gospel with Pastor Peter next Saturday. The town is about 100km(60 mi.) from Eldoret where we are living.

Update on our Landlord- This week we meet the man who owns the house that we live in. Remember it is a guest house next to his personal 15 bedroom house.

Landlords 15 room House

You might call it a Nanny’s quarters but it is perfect for Terry and I because it is located 100 yards from the Indiana University House where we are going to school. He is a Kenyan national that works in Nairobi and is an engineer in the Kenyan Army.

While that is interesting enough we learned Noah Ngeny is the 2000 Olympic Games Gold Medal winner in Sydney, Australia in the 1500 m. He is also the current world record holder for the 1000m when he broke Sebastian Coes 18 year old record in Rieti, Italy. His time of 2:11.96 standss as a world record with no other runner coming within 2 seconds of that time since. He also holds two junior world records as well...

Noah Ngeny is a national hero as well as a celebrity and we live at his house.

Never in a thousand years could I have planned anything this cool. Noah is a very humble man. He and his family have made us feel very welcome and they are glad we are their tenants, please pray for this family as we want to be a blessing to them.

Look him up on the Internet.

Terry made Popsicle for landlords 3 daughters....

Thanks for taking time to read our journal.
