JoeAllen and Glenda's stories

  Welcome Friends!   We hope that each of you are doing well!   The Special Offices Seminar (SOS) was held on Tuesday at the Kajulu church.

  Hello,   Welcome to a Kenyan wedding!   We had the opportunity to take that long drive to the Oroba church. It had rained a tremendous amount before the morning of the joyous occasion which made for extremely muddy conditions!! The wedding was more low key than some weddings.
