My New Home Away From Home

I AM FINALLY HERE! I couldn't be a happier me. I feel like I have been walking through a valley for quite sometime and now am standing on top of a mountain (well I literally am too) Mount Kijabe. 8,000 ft at the "School in the Clouds" RVA, Rift Valley Academy! So the past few days have been a definite walk with God. Starting as I left the Kamau's and had their blessing, to staying with the Kurz and having them take me to urgent care...Yes some things never change. But, how many people can say they've been to a Kenyan hospital, well now I can. I am doing fine, thank you for continual prayers. Just some intense muscle pulls in my chest. I arrived at RVA with many happy greetings as they helped me with my suitcases, toured the school with me, and had me over for lunch and dinner. I was able to unpack...finally. Having to be living out of suitcases for the last month and then to finally unpack, seriously has never felt better. Adding all my personal touches until late last night was unbelievable. Cards, frames, a fridge full of pictures, stuffed animals, blankets, pillows, even a few roses that some kids brought me, has made me feel settled. Today I was able to go wake up and make a fresh pot of Kenyan coffee :), went into the village right outside the school and bought vegetables and fruit...yes mom, vegetables. They are different out here. (Just to make you a little jealous, they have avocados out here the size of cantaloupes for about 10 cents each :) I am going to make some good friends making guacamole and I found a lady in Nairobi that the Kurz took me to that makes tortilla chips, I bought several bags :) Blessings, Blessings, Blessings! Attended a few garage sells on campus to add some cheap personal touches to my new home away from home, locked myself out of my house, did a little wash, and am now waiting to go to another home for dinner. Yes, you read correctly, I locked myself out of my house. It was amazing how many people welcomed me over for tea while they searched for new keys. God is here with me, no doubt. I am humbled and feel incredibly loved to experience the trust that I have with my Savior. Miss you all! Thank you for your prayers and encouragement to get me to the place that I am. My heart is overjoyed and I finally feel I am where I've wanted to and am supposed to be for a long time.
