Kapsowar

I am so sorry that I haven't posted at all these past couple weeks. I have not had internet access but hopefully now that I have it I can post more frequently.

On Tuesday, June 4th, I arrived in Kapsowar, Kenya, the place that will be my home until the end of July. In order to get here, Allison and I took a flight from Nairobi to a city named Eldoret, and from Eldoret we drove on an extremely bumpy, unpaved road that was reminiscent of the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland, except that it was two hours longer than the ride.

I was immediately in love with Kapsowar when we arrived. It is absolutely beautiful here. Our house is on a hill that is surrounded by other hills, mountains, and valleys, and everything is so green.  Even the red dirt on the ground adds to the picturesque scenery.  In the morning, clouds will often cover the peak of the mountain, but as the day progresses, they roll away to reveal the mountain in its entirety.  The past  couple of days have been overcast with rain, but even the clouds do not diminish the beauty of Kapsowar.  I was told some missionaries in Nairobi that Kapsowar is one of the most beautiful places in the country, and they are absolutely correct.  I do not see how any other place in Kenya could be this beautiful.  The front of our window faces the west towards the mountains, so that when the sunsets, it is absolutely breathtaking. I will add pictures to this post as soon as possible, although you must know that the pictures I have taken do not do Kapsowar justice. You really have to be here to see how beautiful it is, and you will see that God is certainly revealed in His creation in Kapsowar.
