back to kibera

Dorothy and I are going to make praying in the morning a habit. It really helps us focus in on our day ahead. Today we got to sleep in because we had a meeting with KISCODEP at 10:00A in Kibera. Victor and Neuton (our guides) were doing some video documentary stuff. We got some different reactions from the locals then we had the first time. Basically it was super uncomfortable to be there. We met up with the KISCODEP people and then we felt so much more comfortable. They took us back to the bone shop and to the chemist shops. I love Evelyn, this woman I met, and her smile. I also love Judith, Joyce, Gladis (a Kenyan missionary), Monica, Ruth, Jeffery, Joseph, and I can't remember the rest of their names. It was awesome! WE came back for lunch then went to Kivuli Centre which was again an awesome experience. Although my friend Mark forgot about me and refused to talk to me, I made a new friend Joesph, the littlest boy at Kivuli. He's three years old and he wouldn't leave my side. We took a matatu (taxi) back home, and I thought I was gonna die. After we ate dinner, Josh left for home. Saying goodbye to Josh was harder than I thought it was going to be. It was so sad to see him leave.
