| First thing, Doug has a last minute fix-it job. A broken "sanduku" the box that every bride takes into marriage to hold her personal things. He's fixed many of these over the last three years. Almost all his tools are gone at this point, so it took some creativity. |

| After attending our final church service in the Maa lanugage at the next door church (an average length- 2.5 hours), we went for the final visit to our Sokento neighbor's home.

"there I am!" always rings out with all the tiny fingers pointing to the lit up frame on the camera. |

| Silas Sokento, his two wives, Grace and Nalamae, another wife of his brother, Nalotuesha, and less than half of all his many children. Two of his sons and their wives live in the same compound with their father. They also have a handfull of children each. Its a large group. |
