Guard your Friends!

The guards really are our friends.  Twice a year Darlene and I are taking the guards from Kamulu out for lunch.  Last time we took John Wambu and Moses Mwangi along with us.  This time we took Jackton and Milly Omondi along with the 6 guards.  They all guard at night at Kamulu properties, sleep in the morning, but by 3 PM they are ready to eat.

I had ordered in advance -- 6 kilograms of goat meat roasted, 9 sausages, two bowls of ugali, a bowl of kachumbari (like pico d'gallo), 3 big bottles of soda, a bowl of rice and 3 quarter chickens.  At the end I got each one a bowl of ice cream and a huge cookie called a "tea scone."  We all had a great time.

We are sitting at table outside the Tusky's supermarket and take-out cafe.  Darlene and I left while they were eating ice cream so she could teach one of the 4.30 Classes back at the literacy center (she is currently reading C.S.Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and discussing it with them).  After we left, Jackton and Millie invited the 6 guards to begin attending a Bible study at their house on Wednesday afternoons.  So far as we know, none of them have ever been in a worship service or done any study of the Bible.  So....how exciting!  Guard your friends!!
