Inspiration

I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
a window and a pigeon with a broken wing;
You can spend your whole life working for something
just to have it taken away...
But love will come set me free,
love will come set me free
I do believe!
Love will come set me free,
I know it will.

You free me to laugh....

Jambo!

There has been so much going on in these last few days, and there are people waiting so I might not have time to write a lot. We have been going to different children's homes and playing with the kids, doing church programs for them and just hanging out. Each home has something really special about it, but I think we are all a little partial to Treasures of Africa which is Ryan and Stacey's childrens home. The kids there have really opened up to us, and it has been sweet to get to know them and their personatlities. All the other homes have been great too, and we have really been blessed by the smiling faces of all the children.

Like I said, not much time, so I will just give a couple highlights.

Fitting about 25 people in a small pickup truck...thanks Ryan.
Fitting 35 people in a "Dolla Dolla" (small bus...SMALL bus)

*we do have pictures of each of these events.

Sleeping with "non-poisonous geckos" in our room. (I am convinced they will kill me)


BUT the sweetest thing we have done so far: goign to visit a Massai village and its people. Now when I though of Africa, I thought of it as a place with huts and crazy tribal warriors...but we were surprised how much different than that it was. BUT that was before we visited the Massai. These are the National Geographic, huge ear plug wearing, hut living, goat herding, tribal chanting, lion killing people you think of! They were AMAZING! You will have to ask for pictures, because I cannot even do them justice!

I have tons more to write, but I love and miss you all! Safari tomorrow and Saturday so I won't be on much for a while! Miss you!
