To The Ends Of The Earth :)

Nairobi West, Kenya


Its time for a vacation. I like it here but I'm really missing the food! I want a star bucks iced vanilla latte with extra vanilla and whip easy on the ice! Mc Donalds #1. Hot wings from wing stop, flautas from Tejanos Mexican restaurant and mint chocolate chip ice cream on a REAL waffle cone!!

I'm not pregnant!! Lol but I do have my cravings! There are a few places here to get fast food but the variety is limited and in no way close to good as I'm use to :)


Speaking of fast food iv been having this desire to make a homemade pizza from scratch. I got all the ingredients I need. I was going to make it the other day but after a long day traveling to the ends of the earth in service I was too tired.

What was funny is that the couple I mentioned before that was having a bunch of us over for dinner made pizza for us! I even got to make one at her house. So that desire has been satisfied. Now I want to make a cheese stuffed crust this week. Yum!

Well service keeps getting Better and better. I love certain parts of the territory especially. I mentioned I went to the ends of the earth, that just happened to be close by. I went with a Sis on some calls. We took a few small buses to get there walked and walked for miles it seems in the mud and got rained on a bit. We climbed up and down a small slipery hill. As always its worth it. We stayed 2hours and waited about 30min after for the rain to stop. I'm having to get use to this mud!


I wish I had taken my camera. The view was nice. There were fields of veggies in the distance.

The sis who took me felt bad for having me go through all of that. Then i started telling her about ALL the crazy situations iv been in. Car breaking down, losing keys n the mountain @ midnight, being stranded with Kyran and Marcus with no place to sleep, getting stuck in the game park, on the mountain, the fire at 3am so on and so on.. She said she felt 100% better, this was nothing!!!!!!

Yesterday we worked a small part of kibera. That's the biggest slum in kenya by the way. Of course I never take my camera in there. That's another place I would take some of you just so you can say that you went into the deepest of kenya.
We found interest in there. 2 people said that they would like their own bible study.

We saw some kids that were standing on the shoulders of the the other and we were wondering what they we're doing. On the houses there are these tiny tiny air holes or squares. And in them are birds nests. So that's what they were looking for, taking the birds and the nests! I don't think they were gonna eat them, but I told them that now they have to find food for them. Poor birds. I took a couple of pix with my camera phone. I'll see if I can put them on the comp.


After service we went home to do some letter writing. Kyran was so sweet! He made tea and 2 pans of brownies for everyone and just waited on us replenishing the tea and water so we wouldn't have to disturb our service :)


Today some friends came by for some tea and cake. Man iv never had so much sweets in one weekend! A Sis is here visiting her fam from UK. She was supposed to leave friday but is delayed because of the ash in the air coming from the volcano in Iceland. Crazy stuff huh?


Anyways that was my weekend:)

So what do I say in service now? No invitations to hand out for the special talk. Its always sad when a campaign ends. :(

Well congrats to my Bro in law Jeremy ! Its Almost graduation day in may! ;)


Take care yal!

Hasta la next time!! Kwaheri ;D
