He was incredible! He told us the story of how he met his wife. How he had been married before, but his first wife said she was going to visit her mother for two weeks and he didn't see her (or their son) for 10 years...
Then he told us about how he became a mechanic and learn to weld...and how those skills brought him to Bridging the Gap (the bridge-building project here in Kenya). He spoke about his friendship with Harmon Parker (who began Bridging the Gap) and then shared with us the process through which a bridge is built: from request to completion.
This ministry is honestly unbelievably life-changing...check out the link above for stories and pictures...
As we were leaving, we took a few pictures of the family. (From left to right:) Sylvester's brother (maybe Petrol?), his daughter Ivy, his wife Sally, me, his daughter Faith, Sylvester himself, Daina, and his son Timothy.

We agreed to do it again before we leave...and I can't wait.

The title is HILARIOUS!! Does Sylvester have a lisp?
I love the name Ivy too.
