Marilyn Maclntyre and Kathy Howald served a light lunch as we arrived. Kathy started the evening with us singing a hymn "Come Ye Thankful People Come". Then she said a prayer. Marilyn read the scripture lesson and Mar- garet Hamilton did a story of Sowing Seeds from God's Harvest. Again we sang "For the Fruits of His Creation". Marilynne Gilchrist introduced our speaker, Erin Gilchrist, who went to Kenya, Africa, where she worked on a Water Project. Erin told us a very interesting story of her time there. There were five ladies living in a brick house and they had elec- tricity, some gardens and trees, like banana trees. Tea is their main export. They had five springs to repair. They have lots of mud where they have to work in. They made con- crete walls and built steps which was good for ladies to carry the pails of water up to level. These people were very happy and thankful for these girls to come over to help them have some good drinking water or just clean water. After we had our WMS meeting for about 15 minutes to finish up our business for this meeting.
