These past two weeks have been spent in Tangi Tatu with the Maasi tribe. The mountainous land of Kenya is definitely different than what I expected but it is beyond gorgeous! This place is definitely one of God's masterpieces! We have been doing door to door evangalism and it has really surprised me how hospitable everyone we visit is, Christian or not. They have so little but they give what they have. They would use every last bit of their ingredients just to make their visitors chai tea. Pastor Amos's mom,Rebekah made all the girls on the team earrings and she also made me a...

I am in an interesting position this year. On September 14, 2010 I entered Kenya for the first time. I came with eight other Real Life participants and our leaders Nick and Hannah.

Its interesting that we came here to serve, but we've been served just as much. It was also a really great opportunity to grow. In two weeks, I've already changed so much. I went from being the girl who was afraid to give a 5 minute speech, to teaching two, fourty minute classes. We've...

These past three weeks have been some of the hardest days of my life. I hae experienced life on a whole new level. I have discovered how much growing I still have to do within myself and in God. But he is forever patient, kind and is willing to wait for me to fully trust in him. My journey began by landing in the Narobi airport. We were greated by pastor Simon after 20 hours of travel. We all crammed in a van and drove another hour to Kijabi on a bumpy road through the night. I was so nervous and scared as to where we would end up. We arrived at a big brick building with three tents set up...
