Yesterday, we went to the biggest slum in Nairobi, Kiberi. At first, I hated being there. There are like 300,000 Africans who live there, and I just felt like we were on parade and the people just thought 'money' when they saw us. But the more we walked through, the more comfortable I became. We went with a man named Kip who is the coach of a football (soccer) team for kids. He lives there so he took us to his house. It was very small, but he was SO welcoming. Some of the kids here have never seen white people, so they are scared of us at first.
Today we went to church at International Christian Fellowship at Rosslyn Academy (an amerian school where a bunch of our first week campers attend). I didn't get to hear the message (Louie Giglio on a big screen...oh yeah!!), however, because I helped teach the 2-4 year old Sunday School class...which was like (for you Sardis people) having four Mallorys in one classroom...super fun:)
Now...off to my Sunday afternoon nap:)
Love.

Some things never change, do they 'Tater'? That Sunday afternoon nap is a "must"!
ReplyDelete4 Mallory's? A few days ago, Mallory was spending the day with me, and one or the other of us left the door cracked, and a snake came into the house. Alisa and Kristen actually almost stepped on it when they came to get Mallory. It was stretched out by the back door-this huge oak snake. Chuck had to come to the rescue! See, we've been having some excitement, too! Not exactly the kind I like, though. You're having the experience of a lifetime; enjoy every minute of it! See you soon! Aunt Jo-Mammy
