On this particular Sunday, I decided to go up to visit the church in the village on top of the mountain, the Monduli Juu church. As we're just ending rainy season, everything is still so green and flowers are blooming everywhere. A former student, Wilson, wanted to go with me, so we drove up together.
We arrived just in time for the break between class and the service, so we had time to greet people before heading in. Several of the students from Wilson's graduating class last year are members there, so he went of to sit with them and catch up. Ralph and Twyla Williams, some Canadian missionaries we're all good friends with, worship there, and due to coronavirus Twyla has become the Hand-Washing Guard, standing beside the bucket and soap set up by the door and making sure everyone stops to wash their hands properly before going inside. I enjoyed being there; the Monduli Juu church is always friendly and I like spending time with the people there. It was nice to be able to get back up there; I haven't visited in a while due to not wanting to drive the steep mountain road in the heavy rains of rainy season, but now that we've had over a week of sunny weather it was a great time to go up.
After church, Ralph and Twyla invited me (and Wilson, since he was with me) back to their house for lunch. Sunday is their leftover day so as to have a quick meal after church, but we lucked out--they had leftover fajita meat! It was nice to share a meal with them and admire their verdant garden before heading back down the mountain.
Look how well their rhubarb plants are growing!
