The Jr. Pot's

Well lots has been going on. This new hall is so nice. Since we have been here we have been kindly invited to many of the friends houses for dinner. One family invited us to their retirement home which is about an hour away from Nairobi.

The place was really nice. They live here in the city but their house is in the country. They designed it and built it themselves. We ate so much. When we arrived they served us a huge plate of veggies, rice, githeri and lamb. Then out came a plate of fruit and they said " this is just the appitizer!! We were soo stuffed already!! The brother was outside grilling a lamb.

Mean time she brought us drinks while we sat in front of the fire place. That day was cold. They showed us around their land. They dont have to leave the house much. They have cows so milk is provided all the time. They grow potatos carrots and peas. We got to pick our own & came home with 10 pounds of carrots!!!!!

We are making a carrot cake tomorrow!!

Last saturday a couple invited us over. Ah the food was soooo good, it was chinese food. At first i thought we were going to eat raw food! Then as we all sat down they turned up these boiling pots that were in the middle of the table and they just started throwing in food!! We had shrimp crab and fish with all the trimmings. Its crazy how they boil everything. Even sea weed, melon and lettuce. Surprisingly enough it was really good. The association was good aswell. A couple who serve as C0's were there too. We had met them last yr when i was here so it was a good reunion!

Later we had some good blueberry ice cream, and flower tea. There was real flowers in the tea!

Then just a few days ago there was a bro visiting our hall from Germany bethel. He and Kyran hit it off good. We liked him alot and plan to visit him. Now we have 10 friends to visit in Germany!

So we have been doing lots of entertaining and getting to know the friends in our hall :)

This friday we went out with some friends to this nice hotel and there they had a live salsa band playing!! guess how happy i was!! I requested the song "sama rew" by Africando, its the same song that the wedding dancers performed at our wedding. It was so much fun!!

Kp is doing really good in his service. Says he plans to aux pioneer soon.

Well thats all for now. Its been raining alot!!!!!

OH OH OH I almost forgot, Kenya is moving up in the world. We went to Nakumat, which is THE grocery store and found they now have Old El Paso taco shells, soft tortillas, salsa, cheese dip and yes oh yes JALAPENOS! Alas They arrive! Now i can happily live comfortably in Kenya forever!! lol well not 4 ever but you know what i mean ;)

Hope you all are well. Miss you all much

Love Drea
