Things just keep happening to me.
Note for the folks at home: "Father" isn't an uncommon title to be called in rural Kenya, as a Caucasian male. For a few decades following the exit of the colonial British government in the mid-1900s, the only white people to make it out to "the bush" were (nearly) all missionaries. The habit of referring to white males as "Father" (meaning "priest"), it seems, is not one to die quickly. Religion is an integral part of the cultures of rural Kenya, but outsiders might be surprised to hear that Christianity and Islam are, almost universally, the only religions practiced. The historical religious beliefs of Kenyan peoples, even among the most traditional tribes, have long since been adjusted to fit within a Christian or Islamic system.
