Mobile school was really good today. We learned shapes [triangle, rectangle, square, and circle]. I asked the children to tell me things that are these shapes and this little boy said a sambusa [triangular egg roll type treat]. It was precious!
This afternoon we did a photo shoot with the children. I cannot wait to post these pictures. These kids are gorgeous! I could gawk about them for hours. I have been learning many things about life on this trip. How short it is, how easy it can be, how hard we make it, how hard it can be, it is full of so much! I challenge you to live in the moment. Try, for just one hour, to be in that hour. Be there now. It is nearly impossible. Life flies when your moments are not solitary. Try try try!
Our room is being fumigated right now [every night since the malaria scare we have been spraying it down with some sort of insecticide]. I am sitting in the office with David, Hellen, and Lucio [nationals]. I like to listen to them speak luo and laugh and unknown humors.
10 days until I am an American again. I really miss family, Kona, friends, alone time, and soy lattes. gahh.
Google Sipi Falls. We are spending the 11-13 in a tree house there!!! It is gorgeous [from what google shows me].

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to meet with you in person to talk about what you've learned. Is there any chance we can meet up before you go off to school? I love you so much!
