Yeah. We’ve been in Kasarani, and we have been coming to this church since it was made. We are among the first people to move from that church to come to this one. Most people moved during the years. People moved from Kasarani; people move to Buruburu. So they changed churches. We have been here for a while, like for the longest.

Challenges growing up: well, I think when you go to high school, in Kenya, the Mormon church is shunned, “You are Mormon!” Because not a lot of people are Mormon, and people don’t speak about being Mormon.


It was just different. Because going to Church, the school I was in is the same as Jess’s. We went to the same school, Alliance.

The school is a Protestant school. The church there is Protestant. So you go there, and because it’s a boarding school, I don’t know when people are praying, and everyone’s praying at the same time. You’re like, “I don’t know this because we’ve never been to any different church.”

So it was shocking, but you adjust. There are things that we do alike, but most things we don’t. That was probably the most challenging church-wise.
