Early Morning Assembly..... Kenya Part 7

Hey everyone!  Another Kenya update!  I have so many pictures from Thursday that I have decided to split them up between probably two or three posts as a way to be able to upload more of them since I am having such a hard time choosing which ones to share!  :)

Thursday morning began just like our other days, I woke up around five forty-five so I could be downstairs a little before six for our groups Bible study.  Hehe, I think I just saw every single one of those who know me outside of this blogs eyeballs just pop out of their heads at that announcement.  I know I am not a morning person, but amazingly, in Kenya I am very much so a morning person as well as my usual night owlish self, yeah, I got the best of  both worlds there!  I always loved the early morning times there, they were very peaceful and a great way to prepare for the day.  Around seven, or seven thirty we would eat breakfast  and then try to leave for Mathare by eight. 





Our group after breakfast spending some time together before we left for Mabatini.

Next are some  pictures from our daily drive to Mabatini in Mathare,  it was so beautiful!  Amazingly, we never really ran into the famous stuck-in-one-place-forever traffic jams, for which we were quite grateful.












We arrived at Mabatini in time for the morning assembly which is just so precious, I love watching the children sing their praise to God as I showed you in a video in a previous post from a different day.

Bryan was able to lead the devotion this day and did a great job talking with the kids.



Above is a view of the valley from the school yard the children have their assemblies in.  It was so sad because you would see children standing outside of the schoolyard listening, but they couldn't come in because there are not enough sponsors or space.  Please pray that God will put it on the hearts of people to sponsor children in the valley and that He will also provide the space for all of them.



Blessings,
Michelle
