Today can only be described as epic. We called a taxi to take us in to
town, where we had an amazingly delicious omelette at coffee shop while
we waited for Tina and Caleb. When they showed up, we called a few piki
pikis (motorcycle taxi) to take us to Seed of Hope, an orphanage right
beside where Elvis lives. Our first piki ride ever! Was alright, better
than I thought it was goinna be. Once at Seed of Hope, we got a tour of
the place while Tina had a meeting. Afterwards, we stopped over to meet
Elvis’ family.
Oh Elvis. Heart breaking. His mother is
amazing, his wife beautiful. But they lost there six month old daughter
in June. Was so sad. We saw pictures from the funeral, and the grave
site. So heartbreaking. We talked to Elivis later about his home, and he
told us a bit more about his daughter. I told him I’m sure my mom is
taking care of her right now. Mom’s very own black baby. Elvis is
amazing. His faith and insight into everything goes way beyond his 26
years.
We took the pikis back into town, in the rain,
and I had to make a phone call as well, while riding, oooh I felt so
Kenyan!! Tina showed us around town, we made appointments to get our
hair done, and made deals for the blankets, shoes and backpacks.
