Tea, Mandazi and Golf Courses

Today I met Jenelle in town for tea and mandazi, and then we headed for some prayer walking in Unga. Today was actually the first day in a really long time that I was able to pray and walk, as most of the walks we have taken lately have led to someones home and us visiting with them, which isn't a bad thing, but today it was quite refreshing to do a little walking.

And, shockingly, we found more new terratory! I literally thought that I had walked every road, path, alley, ditch in this particular part of Unga, but today it was fun to say Jenelle, I have no idea where we are, but I know how to get back to where we came from! Lets keep exploring!

We encountered mamas who were as always gracious and smiling and shocked to see us white girls trampsing through their village. We played an new version of Red-light Green-light as kids would run up behind us as long as we weren't looking but then if we turned around, stopped in shock not sure if they should run away or smile! It was precious.

Our walk was amazing, the new sights and the new sounds, and yes there were new smells too, were invigorating as I thought and prayed over the vision of Unga. We identified many possibilies, including an area that I thought looked like an old golf course, Jenelle wasn't so quick to agree, but was willing to oblige my randomness!
