Mexican and a movie – a great combination

While we were in Eldoret, Ben bought a video projector to give to the local church to use for outreaches. We decided collectively that we should try it out to make sure it worked properly before he gave it to the pastor. So, we made a Mexican feast (it was great!) to share with everyone. Then, we set up the video projector and hung a bedsheet in front of the window and had a theatre experience, complete with popcorn. Thomas, our anesthetist, and his wife as well as Mikel joined as us well. We watched “Miracle” – the movie about the 1980 US Olympic hockey team that won gold. It was a great movie to watch on a big screen. I didn’t think until later that maybe it would mean nothing to Kenyans, but they seemed to enjoy it. It was a good night for all. It never ceases to amaze me how little it takes to really make my day now J It’s going to be tough now, though, to go back to watching movies on my computer – which suited us just fine before the projector came into our lives.
