Well, i got sick. Not what i hoped for my first day here. So, i had to postpone my trip out to Ebenezer Academy until tomorrow so i could just rest today. i am doing much better today than i was yesterday, i am not quite sure what it was but today it has just weakened into a stuffy nose and that achy-all-over feeling. the only good thing about it was it gave me an excuse to drink sprite in a glass bottle with a straw. that is actually all i had yesterday! anyway, to be totally honest i am very excited to leave Mayfeild. i am feeling very worn down emotionally and physically, and i could use a lot of prayer. i feel like satan is clouding my excitement that i once had. Mayfeild is a very nice place to stay, but i don't anyone here and people are in and out so often. so it is proving to be more difficult that i would have imagined. on a lighter note, i have been taking swahili lessons each morning and i really enjoy it, the teacher we have is awesome. he is so good at what he does. i don't even take any notes! anyway, nairobi is interesting to be in, but not someplace i would like stay any longer. the most interesting thing i have seen is probably the stands on the sid eof the streets, selling all sorts of different things from bunches of bananas to lamps. the funniest thing is that they sell furniture on the side of the road! a roadside was full of bed frames and dressers. it was so funny looking. also, most of the furniture here is would frames with cushion. so a typical couch wil have a dark wood varnished frame with colorful cushions. and most places i have been have hard wood floors or big tiles, and then they will have a rug under the furniture. it is quite pretty actually...and inspiring for my someday apartment ;)
well, i guess as long as i am here at mayfeild not much is happening! i will let you know when i arrive at Ebenezer and what is happening there! until then, i really enjoy recieving email just letting me know about your life and what is going on, i don't like being so disconnected. it is strange. especially right now, i could use the encouragement. thanks for your prayers! much love~
