Here are a few more pictures of the visit from the Maasai Tribe...Just wanted to give you all a look at what went on while they were here in Illinois... Take a look at their website.

Part of the agenda of our evening of fellowship was for us to transcend our cultural and language differences and feel like family. We started the evening by going around and introducing ourselves, and sharing something that we are celebrating God for. Naidine - in the black shortsleeved shirt - translated for us. At points, the Maasai would translate for each other into Swahili and then she would translate for us. Very intersting.
After introductions we shared a traditional, home-cooked meal of ‘Ugali na Supu’, that Karduni, and the ladies made… and everyone tried it... It was basically cabbage soup with hunks of beef and a bread like mixture mixed with ingrediants to make tortillas. The guy in the stripped shirt and the lady in the white shirt serving are from our church and are now Missionaries to Africa nd are helping build the school. They are Jacob and Kim Mills.
They presented Pastor Hal (dad) with a “rungu” club. And Pam (mom) with cards of beautiful Maasai children, to remind them about the school in Maasailand!
In Tanzania, and in Maasailand, rain is such a blessing. It is also a blessing that they have been missing for years now. The En-kata Choir bowed their heads to pray for the rain to come to Orbili, Olerumo and Orkesmet.
