Busy weekend...

I had a lot of fun this weekend although it has invovled a ton of walking. On Friday night Jen, Daylan and I walked about 1 1/2 miles to a church where they had a praise and worship night. It was in a huge white tent but there were like 1,000 people there. It was so amazing. Some of the songs were in Swahili but most were in English. It was so fun to watch them sing and clap and dance. Yea I felt so white it isn't even funny. But it was really cool though. They have it once a month so I think that will definately be something that we go to. When we were walking there we passed this huge crowd of little boys who had just got done playing soccer. They were so funny and so excited to see white people. They were really cute though. Today we all went out for breakfast with some guys from Samaritan's Purse who work in Sudan, but are out just for a bit of rest and relaxation. Jen, Alison, and I walked back from there to our house like 2 miles away. On our way we stopped at "Toy Market" an outdoor thirft store basically. They had so much stuff it was crazy but of course they wanted to charge us way more than others so we didn't buy anything today. Later Megan, Daylan, Steven and I tried to go shopping somewhere else to look for soccer balls for the school. Although I did not find soccer balls we did run out of gas :( Yea that was an experience, which of course invovled MORE walking ;) When we finally got on the road again we were stopped for a bit because of traffic and this little Kenyan boy walked up to the window and asked for some money. We didn't really have anything to give him, plus once you give one anything they all come running...so anyways we had a bottle of water on the dash and so he was like please even some water. So Megan handed him the bottle of water and as soon as he held it he said. "That is hot I don't want that." And handed it back to her. It was so funny. We all just died laughing...it really is true that beggers can't be choosers. So yea, who knows what will happen next. It has been a fun weekend. Next weekend we are going on a retreat as the school staff so that should be fun. Enjoy the pictures and write me when you get a chance!
