church church church

Dorothy and I woke up early today to pray. We both have been having a really hard time with different kinds of situations in our lives. One thing we share in common is the fact that we are both homesick. Yes, it's true. I miss my family so much, and I didn't think that was even possible for me. I even miss Joey. HA! Especially the ice cream that we were both consuming before I left. Anyways, the spontaneous devotional time was SO GOOD. We ate breakfast early and then headed to the church next door... called St. Vincent's something. We went to the Swahili service and it was awesome. I didn't know what they were saying, but it was so cool. next we went to the English service at the same church, however, I started to feel emotionally sick. If you've ever been emotionally sick it feels like someone is repeatedly punching you in the stomach. Plus... the day before I didn't eat any food because I wasn't in the mood to eat. So my heavy breakfast probably didn't help. After church we ate lunch and then went to Tone La Maji "Drop of water". Of course, I quickly got hooked to a group of boys: Fidalis, John, and Hussain. They were so cute. They slept on me, held my hand, and put their arms around me when we walked. It was so adorable. That is what I really needed because I have been feeling so down lately. I was reminded of how much I have fallen in love with these boys. It was GOOD. When we left, our crazy bus driver turned up the reggae music and we turned our bus into a party bus. It was so much to dance with the boys. They were so cute. We came back home and ate dinner and then watched another drum session from our faithful tour guides. They crack me up... they pulled me out of my chair to dance with them. THEN... sleep time.

I'm home. I'm back in Kampala. The electricty has been out since last time I talked to you. I'm sorry I haven't been able to talk to you. It sounds like you are really enjoying your time. I am praying for you and your time in Kenya
