Boikanyo met Mary when he went to her home to offer prayers for her ailing mother. Mary was hard at work in the kitchen, cleaning the cupboards, and certainly had no time or inclination to notice Boikanyo, but he had certainly noticed her.
After he had prayed for her mother, her sister asked if he could pray with her baby sister Mary, which he did. He shared a scripture with her and led her in prayer, but he left with a feeling that there was something very special about Mary.
