A Whole New World...


Wow! So I have been in Kenya about 22 days! I will be heading up the Kijabe mountain to RVA in 3 days. Sunday I will be able to settle into my new home...I can hardly wait! I have been blessed to stay with the Kamau's... the most amazing Kenyan family ever! The have three precious children whom I have been able to bond with quickly. It is a full house here for sure...( Mary, Wallace, Faith 12, Victory10, and little David 3, my two new American Brothers Josh and Eric, a Joska student Barraca, and their house lady and her brother...and me of course...one BIG happy family, 11 of us total!... plus some village children during the day. It is a happening place, reminds me of my home in America so it is very comfortable. I have been enjoying fresh mango juice each morning along with 3 Kenyan meals a day... I was very surprised to look out my bedroom window my first day here and see banana trees and someone washing my clothes in a bucket right outside my window...Welcome to Kenya! I've had my moments of frustration with bouts of no electricity and no water...technology slowness, again...Welcome to Kenya! But it's amazing to be able to praise God for the little things...Seriously! Thank you for covering me in your prayers. I have felt them all. God is so gracious and he is opening my eyes to a different life that I am in love with. More to come once I get to the Mountain of God, Rift Valley Academy...Can't wait for the view!
