Sorry for the delay in posts!!

Hey team!!

Well, it's been a busy weekend. Wifi is spotty in Nakuru and we just got time to get photos uploaded and videos too!

To start, I'll go over the week/weekend. We left for Nakuru on Sunday, and woke up ready to go Monday morning to Virginia home. We had an entire half day to play with the kids and got to perform skits for them about the bible. They sang for us and it was a great time bonding with them and talking about God. I met a little girl named Joy. She was just that: a joy!! She was quiet and didn't smile but clung to me and buried her head in my shoulder most of the time... until I figured out that when you spin her around she smiles :) this smile of hers lit up my life- I mean that!! Made a day in the heat (aka like 75 degrees) totally joyful :) We then went to Ergaton University and were able to do door-to-doors and just share with several girls. It was so cool to meet students at a different university and see their experience.

Tuesday we started out at Virginia home but we got to teach classes. I taught science and english- which was funny because I learned in that class more than the students. It's been a while since middle school!!! Then we left and had to say bye for the last time, which was really hard. We then went to a high school and taught there in classes about a certain verse which was really cool. Such a difference in ages of students!! I loved sharing with these high schoolers and answering questions they had. Last, we went back to Ergaton. But not to go door-to-door, we had time with the Kenyan interns to share our memories and just thank each other for all the experiences. This was super painful, and hard, because it was the last time we would see the Kenyan interns. Basically, I cried my eyes out. But I think it was a good emotion in that the Lord really helped form strong bonds even cross-culturally. I physically hurt over the idea of leaving... I have to keep telling myself that God is in control. But it doesn't make it any easier. We headed back to Nairobi after this.

Today was a chill day because we were planning a get-together with students we encountered from Kenyatta University. 4 girls came, and it was great to say our final goodbyes to them as well as special ACO staff members. I was out of tears at this point but it wasn't fun to say bye :( We are now packing because we have SAFARIS for the next 3 days!!! Then back to Texas.

I will try to post more later, but for now here's links to the photos from the past week and a half!!
