Our Arrival at Kapkuikui
kadalas in bogoria, 13:05h
Finally we could move at the 10th of April. After a journey of 23 hours we arrived at 9 a.m. at Kapkuikui. And I could hardly believe my eyes: 10 youngsters were coming to help and almost 30 children, two pastors, church elders and the chief. Everybody was welcoming us very heartily and then they unloaded the lorry and everything was in front of the church.

After unloading they asked us to come to the church for an offical welcoming: First one pastor was greeting us, then the church elder and the chief and at least the second pastor… I thanked all of them very heartily and then we spoke about the next steps of organizing our movement…
At 2 p.m. everything – the furnitures and all the boxes – were in our new home. I was sitting outside with the youngsters and I was talking with them when Peter (Sunday School chairman of Kapkuikui) was coming and tellings us that his wife was cooking for ALL OF US… and therefore we went to Peters homeplace and his wife Christin was welcoming almost 50 people!!!
After lunch Robert went home with a few youngsters to watch choir movies from his home town Mwanza… while I was taking with the two pastors… finally a youngster was escorting me home. On the way he told me: “Dani, we were waiting for you such a long time and we are so happy that you are finally here now!!! We have prayed for you to come here…”
Dann hatte ich endlich Zeit mich aus dem Eimer zu duschen, denn die Wasserpumpe muss erst repariert werden, ich legte mich dann für ca. 30 Minuten hin, aber inzwischen war es schon 18 Uhr und ich dachte daran, dass noch nichts in der Küche ausgepackt ist und ich vielleicht damit anfangen sollte, um für uns zu kochen…
Then I had the time to shower out from a bucket, because the water pump needs to be repaired first. Then I went to bed for 30 minutes, but it was already 6 p.m. and nothing was unpacked in the kitchen and I was thinking of cooking for us…
Almost five youngsters were still watching choir movies with Robert and then Peter was coming… then they got the idea to show the Jesus Movie in Kiswahili in the church… and because we don´t have a projector they brought our small television and the DVD machine to the church and almost 30 children, youngsters and grown-ups were coming to watch the movie at our small tiny television. But they were sooo happy to watch the movie…

Meanwhile I continued unpacking the kitchen boxes and then Peter said after the movie we were invited for supper at his place… I was so thankful but the pain in my left foot was so big that I was not able to manage the way on this day…
Therefore I was eating “eggs sunny side up” with another youngster and we were talking and talking… When Robert came back we brought milk for breakfast and chapati (African pancakes) which Christin were making for us… Some youngsters were still watching music clips with Robert…

Then Robert came and told me that tweo youngsters are going to sleep on a matraze at the guest room because the bed was not yet build… That were our last one and a half day…
For me it is phantastic to see with which love the people here are welcoming us… and that the wife of the Sunday School chairman is preparing food for 50 people!!! That was a gift of the LORD…
