Sweet fellowship far from home

My missionary partner, Andrew, and I went to town to pick up some things for dinner. While we were in the supermarket, we met an American missionary couple.

We exchanged information about ourselves, told what we were doing in Kenya and carried on the typical kind of conversation you’d have in a grocery store. The couple invited us to the church they were attending the next day. We took their contact information so we could contact them that night and get more details. We ended up going to church with them. After the service we went back to their house for lunch and a relaxing afternoon.

Andrew played a little guitar, while we sang a few choruses, ate and then had an awesome conversation about our Lord Jesus.

A long way from home, we discovered brothers and sisters. The fellowship was beautiful.
