Hi friends,
as Nathan has written it has been a very busy week, and we have seen and experienced a lot. It has been really great having people from Nairobi guiding us around, as we have heard about their up and coming elections in three weeks, and all about the economic structure of the country. Also our guide that showed us around some of Kibera lived in the area, so we got to visit some of his friends living there. It would blow your mind seeing the tiny one bedroom homes most families live in, and families consist of at least 4-5 children! Coming away from seeing such poverty is quite strange. I though i would have a really emotional reaction to seeing some of the things we saw, but i didn't. I just feel like i really don't know how to start processing things.
The hospitality of people here is amazing. I have eaten a lot of ugali (which is like a firm porridge made from maize) which is a staple here and eaten with most meals with a beef stew which is very tasty. For breakfast every morning i eat mandazi, which is like a slightly sweet donut (Carrie... its so good!!!! )
we have to fly as one of our hosts who brought us to the cafe is ready to go home, and it is threatening to rain.
much love xox

hmmmm, 'beef like stew'... sounds like it could be anything. Cat, dog, goat YUM!
Hey guys, sounds busy! And all so familiar. I've pulled together bits from your comments so far to give to everyone on Sunday - you are our prayer focus. Any striking photos? Love you.
