well, um this is a bit awkward, it's been a while since i posted last. errr.
we have had limited power this week so it's been kinda fun. this week has been filled with a lot of work, getting ready for endterms, and the date keeps jumping around so we are always on our toes. i have 3 bible classes to make endterms for, and the review was not as fun. those 2 years sitting in mr youngs theology class in high school though was perfect for me. just teaching what he taught me. but i keep having dreams where he gives me test that i am not totally prepared for, but still am able to do somewhat good. saturday i went into Nairobi to meet with Beto Paz who is the head of Missions for East Africa. we met at village market which is the nicest place in east Africa. its by the embassy and very very very white. nice areas to eat, wifi, super nice shopping areas, it's awesome. we were able to talk for a while about ministry options in Kenya and the needs of the leaders. very good stuff to work off of. after we were done I was in no hurry to leave, so i walked around, went to a naku mart which operates like the black market, they will never have the same food twice. i found airplane cans of pepsi, something tells me if i went back, it would not be there again. i found corn, which does not grow here, they have jerky, which is not made here. it's crazy, but i loved it. i bought a thing of french bread and ate that for a snack and then went in for pizza. so strange to eat real food. i also was able to meet up with my dear friend Jessie Hamilton who i met last time. Jessie was here for 6 months while going to school here. she is still in high school but she almost runs kenya. we were able to chat for a while and she gave me American food, always good. later at the matatu station, while getting poured on by rain, i finally fought for my spot on the last bus home, that took an hour and a half to get to ruai. i got home at 10 pm ish and was beat, wet, and happy about my trip. so that's last weekend in a nutshell.
post more later. and keep your eyes open for pics on facebook.
