Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!

BLOGGING TAKES FOR STINKIN EVER!!!!!!!
I am so sorry that I have done such a terrible job with keeping you guys updated!
Blogging is hard for me, though, because it takes time and well there are just so many
other exciting things to be doing!! haha. I am going to try a lot harder now to keep you
updated! I promise!!

Because I talk a lot about the food to you all, I wanted to show you a few pictures!! The
first picture is Somaki (fish). IT IS SOOOOO GOOOD!!! The second picture (well there was
supposed to be a second picture. Sorry it's not there!) is Kachambaru (avocados,
tomatoes, red onions, carrots, cilantro, lemon juice, and cucumbers).
YUUUUUMMMMMMYYYY!!! These two food have been my favorite! :) If you can't tell,
this next picture is sugarcane! I had my first experience of eating it on the way to Mwingi.
Pastor Wambua and I were driving along and as we entered a town, he stopped on the side
of the road and people began to crowd around the car! They all had different things in their
hands-oranges, bananas, peas, tomatoes, and sugarcane- that they were trying to sell us.
Pastor bought a large amount of sugarcane and we began eating it! I have you know, I only
ate a few pieces, but he ate two whole bags!! haha. :) I had trouble biting it because my teeth
aren't near as strong as a Kenyans. I made more of a mess than anything!

Like I said on facebook, riding motorcycles is the way to go!! Charles, me, and my best

buddy Saul! They are a little scary because of all the bumpy roads, but definitely fun!

Who says

we can't

be father/

daughter?!?

At the

church in

Kumowongo

(not sure if

I spelled

that right),

each team

was asked to

plant a tree.

One from

America,

South Africa,

and Nairobi.

I was so excited when Pastor askedme to plant

the tree

from Nairobi!

This blog wouldn't be complete if I didn't post some pictures of my beautiful children that I get to spend

each day with!!These are all my boys!! Yes, I am claiming ALL OF THEM! These older boys like to make

fun of the way I talk. They continually try and copy my accent! They have learned, though,

that if they make fun of me too much I will chase them down and tickle them! haha.

This picture is my dearest little boy, Bilal.

He is my helper inclass one!

Yes, that is an extremely big beetle. He thought it would be funny

to throw it on me. I didn't laugh. ;)

Well, I hope this blog will allow you to take a step on this jouney that I

have been on. I am truly having an amazing time! I wish I could express

to you just how great it has been!

By the way, the dress making class finished my African dress today!! :) :)

It's SOOOO pretty! I am going to wear it on Sunday, so I will post pictures

then! Maureen took me shopping in the city today for accessories, and boy

was it fun! Maureen says I look more and more Kenyan each day. All I

have to do now is paint my skin with some charcoal! hehe. :) I hope you all

are doing great!! Thank you for the prayers and all the comments you have

beenleaving! They help me not miss you so much!
