Today is our third full day in Kenya, and we are already learning and experiencing much! As the girls on my team have been quick to discover, I thoroughly appreciate the value of a good list, so the following outlines a bit of what we have been up to recently:
-Sleep: Thankfully, the jet lag has not been unmanageable, and I think we are now completely on the Kenyan sleep cycle
-Eat: The house in which we are staying, Mayfield House, provides us with three meals a day, and they are great!
-Drink Chai: This is a Kenyan staple, and I think we are all hooked!
-Kiss a twiga (giraffe in Swahili): We had the opportunity to visit a giraffe park. Check out the picture below. What a blast!
-Go to church: It was such an incredible blessing to worship with Kenyan believers! Kenyan people are incredibly hospitable and welcomed us into a smaller waiting room after the service was over, where they served us chai and cookies and we were able to get to know some of the college students. What an amazing experience to be able to hear the Word of God preached and to worship our God with Christians across the world!
-Play Bananagrams and learn Swahili, in that order: We have a few pages of introductory Swahili that we are attempting to learn. As a reward for semi-focused studying, we allow ourselves to play a round of Bananagrams (double points if you play a Swahili word). See video below!
We are so looking forward to tomorrow, when we hit the road early for our drive to Siyaipei. We are sad to leave our dear friend Aimee, who is going to be staying in Nairobi and working in Kibera Slums, but are excited about what God is going to do in both locations!
Upendo,
Janie
