I think I'm overdo on a post and a lot has happened since I last updated.
To start, I made it home from Africa a few days ago. My time in Kenya was fantastic and I'm already trying to think of how and when I'm going to make it back there. I think if I could describe the people I met there in one word it would be colorful: they had an overwhelming sense of joy and contentment, they were beautiful, they were welcoming. I wish I could process my time there in a more coherent way but I think I'm still working through it myself. I learned a lot; it was surprising to me to see how much reflection the trip inspired and there are some definite ideas I need to apply to my life that I learned there. Should be challenging but rewarding too.
We became such good friends this trip. I'm really pumped to see Jenni again when school starts!
This is Habram (one of my favorite Pokot boys) with some of the other kids in him village.
Us again.
This is Grace. She was one of the women in the slums who was kind enough to let us into her home. See what I mean about the beautiful thing??
My camera died in Pokot so I'm relying on fb for a lot of pictures but these were some of the ones I took.
In other news, I'm giddy with the idea of getting to live with Selena and Maria. For one, I missed them while I was in Kenya and the whole not being able to talk to them thing was weird. Not to mention that I just love them both and am ready for us to all be there and have a house!
There's actually a dwindling amount of time before I do move back to school. I have so many people to catch up with.
