Adjusting to life in Kenya has been good, but difficult… here ‘s a little glimpse of what has happened and what I have learned so far…
- I’ve officially learned how to wash my clothes out of a bucket… washing machines are sooo overrated.
- I’ve almost mastered the “squatty potty.” (If you don’t know what that is.. please take time to google it… that’s my restroom for the next 11 months.)
- I have created the event “No Shave August.” (It is entirely to hard to shave your legs when you are showering out of a bucket… so Erin and I have dedicated August a no shave month..)
- I have realized that you can make yourself like anything that you put in your body…. Liking and not liking food isn’t really an option.
- My team is famous….. everywhere we go (and I literally mean everywhere… going to the bathroom is even a task), we get followed, called out, shake hands, the whole shebang.
- Alone time consist of laying in your tent, while a handful of African children run around it, laughing, and finding all the possible ways to peak through holes so they can giggle at you.
- Not all kids like me… hard to believe… yes.. but I have made more African kids cry then you could imagine.
- I can sing… again… hard to believe… but everywhere we go.. we get asked to sing, and no matter how awful we sound.. they always ask for more.
- I need Africa, more than Africa needs me.
This month our ministry involves: youth ministry, door to door evangelism, construction, preaching at fellowships and churches, prison ministry… and whatever else gets thrown our way.
Our team is growing daily, and God is showing us what it truly means to love.
God’s doing big things… and the journey has just begun.
Thanks for the prayers and support. Keep them coming.
