salaama my dear blog readers.
it's sunday evening here and i have locked all the kids out of the computer lab just to write this. it turns out that one of the mangos I got from the city, has been possessed by the devil and has made my stomach upset for a good 4 days now. but it soon will pass. i am starting week 4 here which seems crazy to me, because it only feels like i got here last week. it is unknown if i will be teaching after the semester ends in april, so it could be only a month more of class time work. my daily devotions have turned into one man bible studys that last for an hour or two. there seems to be a lot planned for the up coming months at Jubilee, a big Gospel group from South Africa is supposed to be coming, just for the kids, and so are a lot of news cameras. so updates should come soon about that. my next months here are packed with big things, i am hoping for at least 4 skyping events with youth groups, meeting up with friends from America, getting coffee with pastors and a handful of outreaches. i am excited to be able to look back in 4 months and see what went on during this trip. but the end of month one is only a week away, so i better get to work now. Home is starting to feel closer and closer with the amount of emails and facebook things people are sending me. when i first got here, my roommate talked about having dreams at night of him going back home but only for a day. at first i thought he was crazy, but then i started having them. the other night, i had one where i was visiting home trying to get everything ready before i left to come back that night. which is weird, because i had dreams of Africa ever since I got back the first time. it was strange for the kids to see pictures of winter camp, since the only snow they can see is the snow on Mt. Kenya. a boy in the library asked me today what hotdogs were, but he knew who Carmen Electra was. i have found that the negetive things of America have been imported to kenya, but yet Americas good things, have yet to be sent over. some boys did not even know that sports illustrated was sports oriented, they thought it was a swim suit magazine. so many of the kids want to come to America, but we tell them that we left America because we think Kenya is much cooler. i pray for this generation of Kenya.
updates and pic's to come. so far not that many updates, and not that many pic's.
ok bye.
