Harries' Farm, Thika

The beautiful Harries Dam, lined in feathery Palms
about 20km outside of Thika, Kenya

On Saturday, with our kids feeling much better after a week of being home with aches and fever, we enjoyed getting out of our house and taking a drive with our friends Amy and Sammy into the rolling coffee country of Kiambu, Ruiru and Murram Road, near Thika. We were on our way to visit Rev. Mike and Pauline Harries, a white Kenyan couple who live on a beautiful farm in the heart of coffee country.


Sammy, Pauline, Amy and Mike

Over the past few months, we have had the joy of sharing pre-marriage counselling with Sammy and Amy. As the November 27th Wedding date draws near, we travelled together on Saturday to meet with pastor Mike, who will be officiating at the wedding with Aaron. It was very interesting to get to know the Harries and hear about their perspective of living in Kenya.

We are praying for Amy and Sammy as the next two weeks of preparation will be intense with family coming from the United States and around Kenya.

Love is in the air!

Ready to head back to Nairobi,
as the sun dropped low in the sky
