Today Martha and Pacomis Wambugu are picking me up to visit their home in Nyahururu which is about five hours away from Watoto Wa Baraka.
How did I get connected with Martha and Pacomis you ask? They are in-laws to my dad's co-worker, Priscilla. Dad started talking to her about his concern for my safety in Kenya when God sent me the check (see previous blog for explanation of "the check").
Out of the kindness of her heart, Priscilla called Martha to see if they would be willing to pick me up at the airport. Not only did they agree to pick me up, they asked their son-in-law, who is a policeman at the airport,to walk me through customs, visited the orphanage a few weeks before I arrived to make sure it was a valid organization, stayed at the hotel with me my first night in Nairobi, helped me exchange my money from dollars to schillings, and helped me buy a cell phone. They are truly a blessing. Although I thought I could handle all these things on my own, I now see that was arrogance, not independence.
If you are reading this and think it is just a coincidence that my dad knew these nice people, you are sorely mistaken. This was all orchestrated by God.
GOD CREATED US TO SERVE. ARE YOU?
