On the fourth of July, we had a great celebration. The best part was not the hamburgers and hot dogs, and not even the match fireworks (ask me about it sometime, it’s awesome!). It was the faces of the Kenyans! Our group has grown really close to the Kenyan team that works with ICC. It was a beautiful thing to reflect that day on how much we have grown as not two separate teams, the Kenyans and Americans, but to see how we are actually now one team working together with the love of Christ. It has been great to see how Kenyans live and interact, but it was something special to go shopping and cook for the Kenyans, and to give them a little taste of America. On the fourth, I reflected on the beauty of Kenya, and especially all of the things I am thankful for back home. Great relationships, freedom of speech, and all of the great opportunities that await me to apply what I have learned here to back home, or wherever I end up in life. God has taught me a lot about not taking ANYTHING for granted, especially the beauty of God himself.
