Life in Kenya

The last few days have been very nice. We went to the market and got all of our gifts. It was quite the experience and We taught the girls the concept of "haggling" which is always hard for peoples first times. My first purchase I almost got ripped off but I got helped from our guide and got it down to a reasonable price. We left with everything we needed but it was exhausting!!!! but i am very proud of them all surviving for the most part =0) The next day the kids came to the farm to play for the day. It was relaxing to not have to travel on all the bumpy roads and have the kids come to us but endless soccer games, hair playing and playing this cup stacking game we all got pooped!! its been nice because we have to be back at the samba (the farm) before dark so we have all of our afternoons to chill, a lot of us (ryan!!) go to bed by 8pm everything even if we are being roudy in our room!! Last night some of the girls went stargazing in the field, well I went to bed and woke up around 2 am and rachel still wasnt in bed!! (we share a tiny bed, its quite funny) I got nervous and wondered if I should go look for her, but trusted she was with the other girls. Apparently they fell asleep outside and got poured on! its been rainy and cold the last few days. Today we went to the school and hung out with the kids. we are starting to get used to everyday life here and tomorrow we get to be cooks and make the kids lunch and deliver it to the school!! thank you guys for all your prayers and encouragement, this trip is seriously a dream. They girls get a long with such joy, we are truly a family here. love you all!
lala salama (goodnight)
